Fall CSS Meeting

Two topics actively being discussed by the Board are purchase of a riding mower for the LZ and a small tractor to for road and LZ maintenance and improvement. The tractor would be similar to Tim Curtis' old one, which is beyond repair.

The cost of a mower equals 6 months of the current lawn service, so that's a pretty easy decision. The tractor would be cheaper than renting one, in the long run, and tasks could be handled while they're still small jobs, as a full-day rental pretty much requires having a full day's needed work. The tractor would also be real handy for preparing the area between the LZ and the Ranch house when the time comes.

We're hoping the USHGF would be willing to contribute toward the tractor, and the rest would come out of CSS funds. Donations toward tractor or mower purchase would certainly help. Maybe we could put the names of donors on the equipment. If we could stay on top of road repair, everyone's vehicles would suffer less wear and tear, and so would their gliders (HGs anyway).

Nothing's been decided, of course, and full info will be presented at the meeting. Please make a point of attending and taking part in the decisions.
