[CINC] Channel Islands Park Foundation and Coastal Clean-up Day September 20th

[Clare Fritzsche]

Just a reminder if you are interested in beach clean-up at Prisoners 
Harbor on Santa Cruz Island. If so, please see below and contact:

p_haggerty at sbcglobal.netgrowmony@juno.com


Or if you prefer to do a beach clean-up closer to home, you can contact 
me about Chase Palm Park beach in Santa Barbara or Emma Woods State 
Beach in Ventura, where we will have CINC crews.


    To all, as you may have heard, we have a new "Friends" group to
    support our
    Park. The new Channel Islands Park Foundation (CIPF) has their IRS
    501(c)(3) non-profit status and NPS cooperative agreement in place, and
    they are ready to start recruiting members, raising money and showcasing
    the park..

    The start-up board of directors has been staffed thus far by a small but
    dedicated group of volunteers who now need help taking this brand-new
    organization to the next level.

    CIPF has planned a beach clean-up event, which is timed to coincide with
    Coastal Clean-up Day on September 20th. The event is planned as a "dry
    run" to help us gauge the logistics and planning required to make
    this an
    annual Foundation event. Friends and family of board members, park staff
    and volunteers are invited to participate in the marine debris-gathering
    day-trip at Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz Island.

    I encourage you all to "Get Dirty and Make a Difference" on
    September 20th.
    Please contact the Foundation treasurer Peter Haggerty at
    p_haggerty at sbcglobal.netgrowmony@juno.com if you are able to come. They
    need to confirm by Sept. 14, so that she can confirm the Island Packers
    reservations.

    We look forward to working with the new Channel Islands Park Foundation!
