smokers by Santa Teresa Spring.

- Mike and Roland did work around the Caretaker's House for
their monthly volunteer work day. Drew Merry said he liked their work.
However, they need to treat the work day like a trail crew day. They
need to have a plan for the work. They need to sign in. Mike needs to
take a trail crew leader class.
- On the work day, they cleared out coyote brush. They did
everything the park staff asked them to do. They cleared around the
tool storage vault. They took out a barbed wire fence. The fence was
the boundary between SCVWD and SCCP property.
- Roland did neighborhood cleanup. He used a vacuum cleaner
to clean up the street along San Ignacio near the Pyzak Ranch. The
vacuum cleaner looked like a lawnmower, so the rangers questioned him
about it. They were afraid of sparks.

for Fandango.

geocachers.
- Mike is taking a class on non-profits with the Score group.
- Mike's pre-Mother's Day hike is on May 2 at the Stile Ranch
Trail. We should make this an annual event. We should invite the
community to come. Mike and Kitty will plan it. We can have a community
event before the hike. The hike will be at 1:00.

the Wood Road Trail. They will give out a folder with a list of 14

pickup trash, and report problems. If we want to do more, we need to
submit a plan.
