Beach Cleanup 4-18-09

Dear Brothers,

Regarding our morning at the Beach Cleanup, we arrived at 9 AM, got our instructions and equipment, and we cleaned up the area on the beach and the trails above the beach half way to Linda Mar.  There were many other people there, and as the say goes, “Many hands make the work light.”  We finished about 10 to 10:15 AM.  The bags from everyone who participated  half-filled a pickup truck.  (FYI, the items we picked up the most of were cigarette butts, and the non disintegrating filters are what the birds are eating!)

I would like to personally thank each one who was there.  Brother Efrain was there with his two sons.  Brother Richard was there with his two daughters.  Brother Raul was there with his camera and took pictures before and which will probably be on the website soon.  I really want to thank Efrain and  Richard for bringing their children also because you are teaching them to “live lightly on the earth” and protecting God’s creation, which is important for the next generation.

You are tremendous representatives of the Knights of Columbus to the community.

God bless you,

Brother Don
