Ray Airport Clean Up Day
RAY Airport Clean Up Day is May 10th, 2025
From chapter member Bob Mahieu:
It has been a year since our annual cleanup day.
Last year with the help of so many volunteers, we got so much done.
Please put May 10th on your calendar.
The list below is areas we need to tackle.
We have a big need for chain saws and dragging out all the cuttings.
Drainage is a big priority.
May 10th…
We need to clear a lot of brush and few trees on the west/south side end of the runway.
Also a much neglected drain along the grass runway east/south.
If string trimming is your thing, then there is a lot to do.
Deirdre is planning a big day working around the terminal. She can use the help.

1. cut growth back 20-30 ft
