PATH FORWARD COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSTON YACHT CLUB
Progress Report #9 - Beachcomber Volunteer Work Party
 
November 12, 2008
 
Greetings:
 
This Saturday is the Beachcomber Volunteer Day you have all been waiting for!!
 
The pilings are driven, the headers are on, lumber and other materials are on order, and installation of the stringers will start on Friday.
 
So, this Saturday morning, starting at 7:30 a.m., we need as many volunteers as possible to muster in the breezeway by the Porthole for further instructions.
 
Here are the few items you will need:
Gloves

Hammer

Battery-operated drill of the 18-volt and up size (we cannot accommodate corded power tools)

Extra batteries for your drill

 
Please have all of your tools labeled with your name. There will be many duplicates and we want everybody to be able to leave with the tools they brought.
 
Experienced construction crewmen will be provided by Robert Williams, general contractor. These people are being paid to be on site and to supervise all of the volunteers. So, please heed their instructions and guidance.
 
Site and individual safety will be our #1 concern. If you have a hard hat, bring it with you and wear it.        
 
Our objective on Saturday will be to lay down a sufficient amount of decking so that the Beachcomber can be used for the Turkey Day Regatta the following weekend. Let's see how much we can get done.
 
Coffee will be provided by the Club.    
 
On behalf of the Path Forward Committee,
 
John Peter
