OUTSIDE FIRES

Due to a recent incident, we would like to remind all property owners, open fires (bonfires) are NOT allowed. The risk is too high for a forest fire and property loss, for which you could be held liable. Outside fires are only allowed in approved fire pits with spark arrestors and with use of extreme caution. If you see a situation which appears out of control, contact Summit County Dispatch (435) 615-3500 or 911. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Using good judgement in having an outside fire is extremely important.

ANOTHER NEW LOCATION ...

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to change the site for the Oct. 8th Membership meeting yet again. It will now be at the Whitmore Library (2197 Fort Union Blvd., 7000 South) starting at 6:30 pm. We will send this message out several more times to make sure people note the change. Please do not go to either Tyler Library or East Millcreek Library.

Thank you,

Richard Schmidt

Thank you!

Thank you to the Forest Service for providing two workers and their chipper on Thursday morning. We accomplished a great deal!
