Davis Hill soccer fields #1 and #2 are offline for the spring and summer for some much needed maintenance.

Tommy Chisholm, an Eagle Scout candidate, did a lot of landscaping at Trout Brook around the Lodge, planting several perennials and spreading mulch to improve the overall look of the area.  Erin Bradbury will send a thank you note.
