It starts the day before with a crew removing boards on dock sections to expose anchor lines - then running a string through all the anchor chains so they can be retrieved in the spring. Stacy Kotecki finishes by tying the string to a tree for easy retrival.

On docks out day, coffee, cidar, donuts and fruit welcome members. After signing in, they are ready to go to work.

Raking leaves is a high priority.

Jim Kennedy and Merrick Hurlbutt collect a leafy treasure.

This year Terry Kleiman brought along a little extra muscle. Says Terry "I've never operated this machine before." However, the experiment proved so successful that some members were saying Terry should get a lifetime membership free.

Meanwhile, Sally Pratt shows how to get every last leaf.
