Dear CINC Volunteers:
You all play such an important role as coastal stewards and I encourage 
you to submit your story about how you care for our coast and ocean as a 
Channel Islands Naturalist Corps volunteer. Please see below for more 
information from the CA Coastal Commission.

The California Coastal Commission invites the public to submit personal 
stories of coastal stewardship in celebration of the 25^th anniversary 
of California Coastal Cleanup Day, in conjunction with our Coastal 
Stewardship Pledge. If you have taken part in something (small or large) 
to care for our coast and ocean, please share your story and/or pictures 
in order to inspire others to take action in their daily lives. Your 
stories may be posted on the Coastal Commission website!

*Submit your coastal stewardship story by **July 1st** for the chance to 
win a "Coast-Lover's Prize Package"* (a framed Coastal Cleanup Day 
poster – either current or from our archives, a 2009 Coastal Cleanup Day 
T-Shirt, and several other surprises...). Make your submission by email 
to coast4u at coastal.ca.gov 
<mailto:coast4u at coastal.ca.gov?subject=for%20coastal%20steward%20stories%20page> 
(please keep any photos to under 500 Kb in jpg format) or by postal mail 
to:

Coastal Steward Stories, California Coastal Commission, 45 Fremont 
Street, Suite 2000, San Francisco, CA 94105

Be sure to include your phone number, mailing address, and email (if 
available) in order to be eligible for the contest. Submissions will be 
posted on the California Coastal Commission’s website (at CCC 
discretion) at www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/steward/stories.html 
<http://www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/steward/stories.html>. A winner will 
be chosen by random drawing. The public will be invited to post comments 
on the stories once they are on the website.
