SPRING BEACH CLEAN-UP AND ECO-DEPOT (clean-up) May 16, 2009, 9:00 am - 12:00 noon
Happy Spring! It's that time of year again to do a bit of Spring cleaning- Surfrider-style! Join us on Saturday May 16th for our annual Earth Day Beach Clean-up and Eco-Depot (which is technically past the official Earth Day this year but who's counting?)
COME ON OUT AND VOLUNTEER!
We also need beach cleanup captains to take ownership of certain beaches,
breaks, and other coastal locations. When volunteers check in, we'll send them out to give you a hand. Let me know if I can put you down to be a captain.
Got a pick-up truck? If you are willing to provide your services and your vehicle to help transport the trash back to the town beach, please let us know.
