Looking forward to seeing you next month!
Beachcomber (River Rats) If you can’t get enough of the salty sea air, volunteer for the Palmer’s Island Cleanup (11:30am-2:30pm)
- Check-in begins at 11am in the Orpheum Parking lot (start with FREE pizza!)
- We will have a 2nd check-in station at Palmer’s Island (Pizza free) at the end of Gifford St.
- When you volunteer for a beach cleanup, you can pretty much believe that you saved the life of an innocent marine animal. Every single piece of litter cleaned off the beach is a piece of litter not consumed by wildlife. Thank you.
See you next month.
Earth Day Hero – Volunteer for BOTH cleanups! If you love our Planet and want to do as much as you can, have tons of energy and simply HATE litter in all its forms, the fact that it’s killing earth’s innocents and feel helpless to stop it and because you’re celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day (all in one breath), this is the volunteer package for you!
- Check in begins when you arrive, well before 11am
- You get your choice of donuts, pizza or chow down both! (you’ll be burning off the carbs anyway)
- You enjoy the camaraderie and challenge of the tasks at hand!
- When you volunteer for both cleanups, you’ll walk away satisfied. you did it. you made more of a change in a few hours than you ever thought possible. Sure, it’s still only a drop in the bucket – but it’s a HUGE drop. And. it. counts.
It all counts.
Every. Single. Drop. Counts.
Thank you. Thank you.
See you soon!
