A big thanks to the 25 members who showed up for the semi-annual Firewise cleanup day. A large amount of dead timber was cut up and taken to the burn pile by our hard working volunteers. A great lunch followed the cleanup. We need more volunteers for these cleanup days in the future. The next one will be in late April 2024 – date will be in the next newsletter. These cleanup days effect everyone in Sky Valley so please come out and help YOUR community.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS-Volunteers Needed

SKY VALLEY SEMI-ANNUAL FIREWISE CLEANUP DAY

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

Meet at 8:30AM at the Maint. Building

We will be doing cleanup of various green areas in Sky Valley to accumulate volunteer hours for another Grant. These efforts by members reduce fire potential as well as improve the appearance of Sky Valley.

We are planning to have a BBQ lunch at noon. Food contributions are welcome as usual. Volunteers are needed to help set up lunch. Please let either Rick Broadwater (301 387 7190) or Bob Sutton (301 387 4957) know if you would like to help with lunch.

This is a good chance to meet some neighbors and contribute to YOUR community. Over the years we have received over $80,000 from Firewise by putting in a little time ourselves every year. This is money we did not have to take from our budget. Volunteer hours for this effort also can count as community service days for school students who need to accumulate time.
Please put this on your calendar and plan on helping out. Bring gloves and wear old clothes – we will be dragging branches and brush to the trucks and trailers to take to the burn pile.
Any questions call Rick Broadwater at 301 387 7190 or Bob Sutton at 301 387 4957

Thanks – Sky Valley Board of Directors
