Past Work Parties The work party on Oct. 12, 2013 was another great showing of support from our own members, Silverado members and I know there were other individuals out there not connected to an archery club. Diablo Bowmen thanks all of you for your support. I have a great picture of Brian running his monster tree moving machine. That large tractor is a savior. Lunch once again was donated by members Chuck and Sharla. Chuck cooked some wonderful chili, brought tortillas and 8 homemade pies. They were all delicious. Sharla donated a most colorful fruit salad and torta bread for the meat. The club had meat in the freezer left over from a pre-fire event. Brad and Angel did the BBQ for sandwiches. We got so much work done on the Regalia. It s looking good. We will start working on putting up the target butts next work party and also more erosion prevention. with wood chips.
