Beach Cleanup (North end of Dania Beach, from 2009-03-08 12:00 to 2009-03-08 18:00)

We will be doing a beach cleanup at Dania Beach on March 8th, 2009 @ noon. You can google map N. Beach Rd., Dania Beach, FL or email me for directions if you need them.......... Please bring a garbage bag which you will take back home with you to place full in your garbage collection place at home and gloves if you are afraid to touch icky trash : ) We will meet at the north end of the parking lot and proceed to the beach. You will want to feed the master meter for the priviledge of parking. We'll collect trash and then have fun! I'm bringing some coolers of ice, and some shade. Some one has volunteered to bring a propane grill, so bring some food if you'd like to eat. Drinks are good, remember this is a public beach, we don't really want to get thrown out or arrested, so use common sense and bring some plastic cups or something that doesn't just scream we are drinking booze. Costumes are encouraged, I know I'll be in one. If anyone has a music player/ system we can hear but won't get us thrown out that would be great. We ARE there to clean the beach so remember, Leave No Trace...... I can come up with silly games, I can think of one that's pretty funny or whatever is fun. This event is going to be a keick off for a local regional bwb group. It would help if I have an idea who can bring what, so I know what I still need to look for or if you have any questions about it just email me : ) hope to see you there!
