Fry's Spring Beach Club needs your help this coming weekend!  This weekend, the Charlottesville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be starting off a project to help clean-up and clear downed trees on our 4 acres of undeveloped property.  CERT will be contributing volunteers and supplies, but it is crucial that we also provide volunteers and supplies to make this effort a success.

Charlottesville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

CERT is a group of local volunteers aimed at providing support for local emergency and clean-up efforts.  These volunteers offer support in coordination with emergency personnel and provide leadership in training and emergency preparedness education. 
 
The Fry's Spring Beach Club clean-up project will serve as training and practice sessions for CERT while also offering them the opportunity to recruit new members.  Over the period of the project, they expect local firefighters and forestry workers to participate in the efforts.
 
This is your opportunity to come out and help Fry's Spring Beach Club and the Fry's Spring community.  Your volunteer efforts will help this valuable greenspace to survive and continue to be available for the entire community.  Ultimately, this clean-up effort will lead to a woodchipped walking trail that connects Old Lynchburg Road, Jefferson Park Circle, and the main Fry's Spring Beach Club parking lot.  This will allow everyone to enjoy the spring and creek, while providing a safe path to and from Fry's Spring Beach Club.
 
CERT will be starting at 9AM on Saturday, March 8.  Volunteers should be prepared with good shoes/boots and bring food and water.  Any equipment that you can contribute to the volunteer efforts (ie. trimmers, bush hog, chipper, chainsaw, gloves, safety glasses) will be most appreciated. 

The CERT leader for the day will be David Booth.
