From Christina Z
I wanted to inform you that Friends of Ormond Beach will have a presence at the Coastal Clean-Up event on Saturday, September 21. We will have a table and have also invited Save Hueneme Coast and the Ventura Land Trust organizations to participate. Our staging area will be right by the Alaska Flight 261 Memorial and we will be there at 8:30 am. We have also invited Congress member Julia Brownley and other local and county officials to see our clean up efforts at Ormond Beach. We have also invited Hueneme High School students to participate in the clean up with us. Equally, important, we expect to see both Hueneme and Oxnard residents working together side-by-side to clean up this precious wetlands sanctuary, which has been spoiled by trash and prohibited human disturbance lately.
This is an event you might find interesting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions (714) 390-2027. We hope to see you!
Respectfully,
Christina Zubko
