[W2CRA] CRA - Work Parties

[cfm2ham at comcast.net]

Hi All, 

On behalf of Bill, I am putting a work party together to perform the inventory that Bill requested in item #2 of his email. As they say, "The sooner we get this started the sooner it'll get done"! So, with a few strong minds I think we will get this accomplished in pretty quick order. 

For those of you ready and able to assist, please contact me via email or my cell phone at 908-752-0824, to let me know you are ready to assist. First order of business is to establish a date for the work, and I propose this be done within the first 2 weeks of August and on a weekday rather than a Saturday or Sunday. Among those that volunteer we will work this date out. Please list your own preferred dates and times in your email or phone call. 

For your info, and with Bill's help, the following is the prep list of equipment we might need in prep for this inventory 

Needed: 
- 10 x 10 tarp 
- work table - Bill has it at the site and all we need to do is carry over from his office 
- work gloves 
- Perhaps a hand truck for the heavy stuff - (I have this covered, Chris) 
- notepad or notebook 
- digi camera would come in handy too - 

I look forward to working with those who can volunteer during the week and I thank you all in advance for your assistance, Chris, AA2MJ
