Second annual coastal clean-up a huge success

After the clean-up approximately 150 children whom participated in the cleanup were recognized and awarded ball caps to commemorate the event, followed by a BBQ provided by the generosity of our corporate sponsors.

The boys are getting it done. (We're going to assume the hand gesture is a V for victory or a peace sign and not a Johnny Rotten impersonation.)

The girls seem pretty happy with new hats and hot dogs after a day picking up trash
