Community work bee Sunday
Kiwanis Ski Club seeks assistance on fall ski jump projects
Iron Mountain — Kiwanis Ski Club will host a community work bee at the ski jump complex on Sunday, starting at 9 a.m.
Club members hope that with the help of the loyal ski jumping fans, fall site preparations will be a fun team building experience instead of the cumbersome exhausting work it has become.
The list of things that needs to be done is very diverse. The club will provide team leaders for the projects.
Here are some of the tasks:
— General cleaning of all buildings: vacuum, wash floors, wash windows, etc. They will provide necessary supplies
— Lots of weed eating is necessary at both outrun fence lines in and out, marker steps, sideboards on landing hill and more.
— Some small trees need to be cut requiring snips or chain saws.
— Brush that is cut will be moved to a central location for removal.
Volunteers are asked to bring their own equipment and this is at their own risk. The club will provide premium gas for gas-powered equipment.
The club is also seeking people with equipment and knowledge to repair chain link fencing. They have caps that have come off and some straightening to do.
The club will provide lunch and refreshments for the volunteers. If you can’t make it at 9 a.m., please come when you can. There will be crews working at the top and bottom of the hill.
The clubs asks that volunteers be at least 16 years of age and reminds everyone that you and your equipment are at your own risk.
Rain date for the event will be Sunday, Sept. 25.
