In other news, this Saturday, April 16, marks the first ever SRM Office Beautification Day!  We will be hosting the University of Wyoming and Colorado State University range clubs onsite for an office overhaul.  Activities include planting, mulching, and general sprucing of the SRM office, not to mention an excellent opportunity for networking between clubs.  Many thanks to both range clubs for their participation and stay tuned for details and highlights.

Katelyn Schade (UW Range Club) and Robert Emanual (CSU Range Club) met with Jess Peterson and Aleta Rudeen to plan the SRM Office Beautification Day Projects last week

We're not kidding - we have our work cut out for us this weekend!  More before and after photos to come...
