Thanks to another strong turnout of BLBC volunteers, our 2026 Autumn Drill ‘n Fill workday was a resounding success. If you’re unfamiliar with the Drill ’n Fill operation, click here to learn what the work involves and why it matters.

Under the leadership of Greens Committee co-chairs Leslie Engler and Sarah Allday, as well as guidance from previous greenskeepers Patricia Erwin, Janie and Judy Hillyer, 20+ BLBC members worked efficiently, harmoniously, and with an abundance of enthusiasm. The result is that our green will remain healthy and beautiful and will continue to be the crown jewel of PIMD’s natural bowling surfaces. 

Many thanks to our volunteers (in no particular order): Mark Baker, Claudia and Cris Benton, Rolly Coe, Ben Corson, Stephanie Upp, Ben Steinberg, Steve Harris, Martin Kershaw, Charles McFerran, Cindy Moss, Mike O’Leary, Gary Samonsky, Phil Watson, Martin Muller, Charlie King, and last but far from least, Cathy Dinnean. (OK, I was there too.)
