December 2007

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays.  Another year has passed and it’s time for annual dues again!  Dues are currently $60.00 and are due 12/31/2007, for 2008.  Please be mindful that your dues are what supports and preserves our wonderful park!  Thank you for your continued commitment, interest and involvement in the Burranch Park Association.  You are appreciated!

Highlights from Board Meeting held 12/08/2007:

• We have a new person mowing the park.  Thanks to Mark Bolfing for taking over, and thank you Rand Schwarz for many years of performing this service.
• The guardrail along the stone steps to the river is projected to be built in February 2008.
• There is a plan to build a community bulletin board near the gated entrance to the river park. This will facilitate communication among members
• A locking cable (same lock as main park gate) will be installed at the end of Sandy Point road, at the upper end of the park, to allow access  for Burranch Park members at this location.
• A "No Parking" sign will be placed at the pull-out next to the low water bridge, in an attempt to end the  dangerous and illegal parking at this location.
• The Board will talk to the county about privatizing parking along Valley View. The hope is to reduce trespassing in the park from this area.
