16th Annual Reef Sweep & Beach Clean Up
Saturday, June 12, 2004 from 9am - 12pm
A great
family activity for all ages. Already a South Florida
tradition, local charter boats, private boaters and beach
walkers will sweep our beaches and coral reefs clean from
harmful garbage. We are expecting over 700 beach lovers and
coastal residents to pitch-in along Broward County.
The Kids Ecology Corps will be providing an educational
component so volunteers can learn more about how they have
helped to beautify and protect our coral reefs, marine life,
economy and human health.
There are
six sites throughout Broward County for beach walkers to
easily take part in by just showing up and lending a hand.
Please join The Kids Ecology
Corps at the
North Beach
Park site in Hollywood.
From I-95 exit at Sheridan and
go east till you reach the beach.
If you want to help clean the
air and avoid parking:
J
- By bus:
take bus route # 7 which runs along Pines Blvd out west
(Hollywood Blvd out east). Stay on the bus as it curves
north along A1A and get off near Sheridan Street.

as well if you want to go to the
Reef Sweep Party immediately after the
cleanup 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm where awards will be given to the
people who collect the most garbage, rope and monofilament.
This lively party includes food, live entertainment, raffle
and door prizes. It is at Baja Fort Lauderdale at the Fort
Lauderdale Las Olas Riverfront Complex.

possible carpool call Emily or Debra at 954-524-0366.*
** Also, if anyone can help out the week of June 7th
in our Fort Lauderdale office, it would be greatly
appreciated. We need to have EVERTHING out for the new
carpeting and will do some major reorganization at that
time.
Thank
you to those of you who joined us in planting almost 350
Pond Apple saplings, for helping out at the Jazz Brunch and
for participating in other Earth Day festivals in March and
April.
Hope to see you at the next event!!
