New Meeting Day

I wanted to send out a note that the TAC meetings are now going to be held on the Second Monday of each month. We voted at the last meeting to move the date in an attempt to fit the meetings into more members schedules.

So the next meeting is to be held at the Strawberry Hill Administration building, 7pm, Monday December 13th. Anyone can attend.

For questions or comments call Dan at 842-3373.

Thanks,

Dan

November TAC Work Party

Hi all,

Looking for a way to work off that Thanksgiving pie while gaining community pride and supporting your Park District. Join us at the Grand Forest West on Saturday November 27th from 10am to 2pm to work on the South end of the main trail. We are still trying to complete the upgrade of the SW portion of the main trail off of Miller Rd. There will be maps up at every trail head with the work party location shown.

Bring your favorite trail tool and gloves and join us. Please RSVP to dan@biparks.org or by phone at 206-245-7385.

Thanks, Dan

October TAC work party

Hi all,

I need to drop a note to let everyone know that Eric and I are attending the Washington Trails Association Conference this weekend so we will not be having a work party this Saturday.

The next TAC work party is scheduled for Oct 30th from 10am to 2pm. Please bring your favorite trail tool, gloves, snack and join us at the Grand Forest West to work on the South loop of the main trail. We are hoping for a good turnout so we can complete some much needed upgrading work on portions of that trail. The Boy Scouts were there in September and made significant progress. We will meet at the Parking area at 10am. If you arrive later just walk the trail all the way down towards where it intersects Miller Rd across from Bainbridge Gardens and you should find someone there working.

Last month we had a very low turnout and pulled out by noon, so if you think you will be there but will be coming in the afternoon just let me know and we will keep someone on site to assist and direct the work needed.

Email me at dan @ biparks.org or call my office at 206-842-3373.

Thanks,

Dan

September 24th work party

Hi all,

If you have time drop by the South end of the Grand Forest West and join us at the work party tomorrow, Sat Sept 24th from 10am to 2pm that would be great. The weather is supposed to be good and we are continuing the work started there last week by the boy scouts. They started upgrading the south loop of the main trail to meet our current standard. We will pick up where they left off and continue around on the SW corner of the main trail. Hope you can make it.

For questions contact Dan Hamlin at 206-245-7385 or at dan@biparks.org

Thanks

Dan
