[CINC] Channel Islands Park Foundation on Coastal Clean-up Day September 19th

[Mary_C_Fritzsche at nps.gov]

Greetings, Naturalists!

Here is an invitation from park Superintendent Russell Galipeau to join in
on Coastal Clean-up Day out at the islands:

      To all,  the new non-profit "Friends" group, the Channel Islands Park
      Foundation, that supports our park is now a year old. They have been
      busy recruiting members, raising money and showcasing the park.

      Last year, the CIPF organized a beach clean-up event, which was timed
      to coincide with Coastal Clean-up Day, and they will do so again this
      year on September 19th. They hope to make this an annual foundation
      event. Friends and family of board members, park staff and volunteers
      are invited to participate in this marine debris-gathering day-trip
      to Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz Island.

      I encourage you all to "Get Dirty and Make a Difference" on September
      19th. If you're able to help with this island clean-up day, please
      call Island Packers at (805) 642-1393 and request the CIPF clean-up
      rate, which is $44.00. Tickets must be paid for in advance. For more
      details about this event go to the foundation website at:
