Community Workday
Greetings. It’s getting to be boat season once again here in eastern Carolina and the MAC (Marina Area Committee) team members are already working on getting our Marina Area back in shape. During our
recent MAC meeting, we did an onsite walk around of the Marina Area and started making plans
on how to vastly upgrade this area for safety reasons, get it more user-friendly and improve the
overall appearance. A five phase approach was discussed from items that can be accomplished
through Community Workdays up to more professional resources. Obviously, we can’t get
everything done due to our limited resources, however in our Phase 1 planning, a significant
portion can be completed by us!
In Phase 1, a Community Workday is scheduled for Saturday, April 23rd from 0700 until an
appropriate end time is called by the MAC Team.
The work to be completed.
- About six tree stumps to be removed by the ramp from last years “Beetle Tree” workday.
- Removal of logs, limbs and other debris.
- Removal and repair of two PVC guide posts at end of boat ramp.
- Removal and reset of two gate posts.
- Painting of two gate posts
- Removal of two gate posts by boat ramp.
- Erecting a sign at the end of the dock displaying “End of Ramp”.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended.
- Gloves
- Hydration
- Bug spray
- Sunblock/Suntan lotion
- Ear and Eye Protection
- Long sleeve shirts and trousers
- Boots or appropriate working footwear
Equipment:
Most of the equipment will be provided and operated by those personnel approved
by the MAC team members. This will greatly reduce any potential safety matters and liability.
Note: Those planning on being part of this Community Workday need to fill out the subdivision’s
