BCC Member Volunteers Clean Up Golf Course

Saturday, April 26, 2014 - A good contingent of BCC member volunteers, on a cool and drizzly day ventured out on the golf course to help our course staff pick up the many fallen branches and to rake up leaf-laden areas. This is an annual event and contributes considerably to helping spruce up our course. This past year was especially hard on the course. Also considerable tree cutting took place over the winter resulting in additional refuse to be picked up. Many thanks to Mike Paquette  for organizing the day and to all the volunteers who braved to elements to help with the clean-up.
