Everyone chipped in to help set up and get all volunteers registered (or check that they had already signed online waivers) and equipped them with gloves, […]

Our March 21 monthly Linda Mar Beach cleanup started out as usual- a little chilly, lots of surfers, but with a heavy mist that soaked everything we put out on our PBC table. But at 9 AM, not only did peeks of sunshine start to warm the beach, so did the likes of 3-5 year-olds and their parents from Brighton PreSchool! […]
