Help Wanted: Part-Time Servers
Club servers are volunteers who work for tips. If you are interested, or if you have children seeking part-time work, please contact John Stanavage.

Maintenance Team
The Trustees are organizing a Maintenance Team to occasionally help with projects around the Club.
-
Experienced Help: We're looking for members with experience in electrical, plumbing, carpentry, or HVAC to assist if the need arises.
-
General Help: We're also looking for general helpers to assist with tasks that may be too large for the Trustees to handle alone.
Participation on any project is voluntary, and only if one is willing and available. If you are interested in learning more, contact Barry Waltz.
