For the past several months, the BLBC Greens Committee has been working to develop a collaborative approach to maintaining our green, one that requires more volunteers than the small greenkeeping teams of previous years.  This effort has now morphed into a broader initiative:  how to encourage more volunteerism in our club, not only to maintain the green, but to perform the myriad tasks required for our club to operate successfully. Like many volunteer organizations, we have established a pattern where a small percentage of BLBC members have been doing a high percentage of the work. Our volunteerism coordination project intends to move the needle a bit.  

Our club is fortunate to have active volunteers. Volunteer efforts are essential to keeping the club running.

Currently we have an ad hoc committee of 15 BLBC members examining different aspects of volunteerism at the club – inventorying tasks, developing a survey, evaluating coordination software, and more.  You may be hearing from them over the next several weeks. If you have any questions, concerns, or helpful suggestions, please address them to Cris Benton and Ethan Bortman who are currently heading the effort.
