2022 SUMMER FIELD DAY
The BRARA Board asked for volunteers to coordinate the 2022 Summer Field Day.
Since there were none, and the event has different rules than WFD, the board decided to look into how the event could be handled from the shack. Please watch for updates. If you would like to step in and be the coordinator, please let any board member know.
Mask Required at Shack
Please be advised the County has returned to optional masks.
The BRARA Board is requesting all who are inside our small space at the shack please keep using the surgical masks until there is an decision to modify this requirement. Stay tuned.
