Medford Valley Barking Party
Some of the Medford Valley Brothers got together last Friday to improve the “Curb Appeal” of the Medford Scottish Rite Center. Our project was to remove some old and dying shrubbery on the parkway in front of our Centers parking lot and bark the area to present a neat and clean appearance. The weather in Southern Oregon can be brutal around this time of year and, it lived up to its reputation. However, the scorching temperature and the hot sun, did not deter us from the task at hand.
Brothers Ed Davis and Don Wetzel joined me in the initial clearing out and cleanup of the old and dead shrubbery as well as leveling out of the area preparatory to the barking. We were later joined by Illustrious Brother Jim Westerfield and Brother Chuck Fustish for the barking phase of the project.
While waiting for the bark to be delivered, we enjoyed a delicious Abby’s Pizza and much needed cold drinks to cool off after an exhausting morning of rototilling, pulling, chopping, raking and bagging.
After lunch everyone got busy distributing and raking the bark to finish the area.
A much appreciated “Thank You” to all the Brothers involved in this project and for their enduring the harsh elements to make the Medford Scottish Rite Center an attractive venue for present and potential tenants and renters.
By the end of the day everyone was totally exhausted but, the result in the end was well worth it! Well done my Brothers, you were awesome!
