Happy Earth Day!

This Saturday, April 27, 2013, we will once again be participating in Clean Ocean Action's statewide Beach Sweeps!  Our Chapter will be leading the sweeps at 30th St in Avalon, the site we are sponsoring in memory of Tommy Kraemer, a Stone Harbor local who's loved ones have been donating to our Chapter since his passing in January.  Chapter members will also be leading the sweeps at 17th St South in Brigantine, Newport Ave in Ventnor, and 33rd St in Longport. We will be at the sites from 9:00am until 12:30 rain or shine so please dress for the weather, bring your gloves if you have them, and come join us at your favorite beach!

We will also be leading a dune grass planting project in Ocean City so if you'd rather be planting please join us there, 9:00am at 5th St and the Boardwalk!  You will receive a quick lesson on planting dune grass then walk to the beach with other volunteers! Your participation will help to stabilize the new dunes and protect them from future storms!  For more info or to volunteer please contact BillStuempfig@comcast.net
