To assist in keeping our membership involved in maintaining the club, we've created a Signup Genius calendar.

The SignUp has twice monthly slots available for the following tasks:
  • 3-D course blowout: 4 hours
  • Field course (14 lane) blowout: 2.5 hours
  • Clubhouse area blowout: 1 hour
This makes volunteer service a little more accessible for those that cannot make a work party and at the same time gives Norva a way to document service hours.

Upcoming Events

The last work party of the year will be held on Saturday, December 7 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Among the jobs will be repairing targets, replacing markers, and clearing fallen trees.

This is a nice way to fix up the club’s facilities for the end of the year. It is also a nice way to get your volunteer hours in. As we get closer to December 7, Club President Ken Wilkinson will email details. See you there!
