The 5/09 Beach Clean UP!



Here we are on our last community service day. We collected about 60 pounds of trash. We hope that any LIS organism that encounters the beach will be safer and happier! We also presented the staff at SOundwaters with a framed certificate of appreciation.

What a great year!

Mr. Forde and the advisory!
