Much took place at the work party.

All distances were re-marked in meters and yards. Lanes were striped and excess foliage and weeds were removed improving the appearance of the range and removing brush fire fuel.

There were a total of 12 volunteers.

Six from the Papago FITA Archers; Barbara Noblet, John Howland, Mike Cullumber, Mary Jo Dhein, Kelly Dhein and John Heffelfinger.

Six from Sun Devil Archery at ASU; Kari Jill Granville, Ted Harden, Lindsay Pian, Ashley Votruba, Chris Mullen and Chase Allen.

We all worked from 12:00 to 3:00. 

Park Rangers Victor Romo and Fernando Espericueta oversaw and helped.

On April 1st, a Boy Scout group will install a split rail fence to provide a barrier between the parking lot and the range. The city has also expanded the paved parking lot.

Come by and have a look.
