BONFIRE POSTPONED!

Hi Everyone,

First off I would like to apologize for such late notice because we have decided to reschedule the bonfire due to unforeseen circumstances. We tried to reserve a pit around 1:00pm today but by that time we arrived all the spots for bonfires were already taken by other people at Bolsa Chica. That being said, the officers thought it would be ideal to reschedule the bonfire to a later date, potentially during the semester at some point. Again we all apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you guys and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Saturday afternoon.

Thank you, see you all once the semester starts!

Bonfire this Saturday!

Hello Wonderful Club Members!

       Come join us at Bolsa Chica State Beach this Saturday at 5:00 PM for a bonfire.  Meet fellow ES&P Club members, eat some good food, and enjoy the beach!  The club will be providing veggie dogs, but feel free to bring some snacks/drinks(non-alcoholic only)/s'mores to share if you'd like.

Parking:  Parking is $15 in the Bolsa Chica beach parking lot, but is FREE in the parking lot by the Jack in the Box at PCH and Warner Ave.

Pit:  Once we reserve a pit, most likely in the early afternoon on Saturday, we will send out another email, letting everyone know which pit we will be at.  So check your email before heading off to the beach so you can find us better.  Also, email us your cell number if you would rather get a text as soon as we grab a pit.

Directions:  http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1SNNS_enUS380US380&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=bolsa+chica+state+beach&fb=1&gl=us&hq=bolsa+chica+state+beach&hnear=Long+Beach,+CA&cid=0,0,16027800008726653175&ei=LpNqTJa2F4T4swOZ5Mw8&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=4&ved=0CCMQnwIwAw

Bring some friends, and hope to see you out there on the beach!

EECO Committee First Event

Hello Beautiful Club Members!

 

I trust all had amazing summers.  We soon start off another school year and I wanted to fill you in on a potential opportunity for involvement with the Environmental Education and Community Outreach Committee.  Alli and I will be attending the training below to help out with the Ballona Wetlands (part of the Santa Monica Bay restoration) open houses. We hope to expand this Env Education opportunity in collaboration with the wetlands as the semester continues.  Let me know if you would like to join us.  I will arrange for a carpool situation if there are takers:)

 

Alli and I have also come up with some great ideas for the semester and we are stoked to share them with you and get your ideas:)  Our first meeting will most likely take place a couple weeks into the semester, so keep your ears/eyes open for more info.  Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, comments, or ideas. Enjoy your last few weeks of summer!

 

Peace

I wanted to let you know about an outreach opportunity at the Ballona Wetlands for you guys to participate in.  The SMBRC is looking for student participation in our outreach Open House events to be held monthly at Ballona (open to the public).  We will be leading tours (beginning in the Fiji Gateway area in Area A).  We are looking for volunteers to assist us developing this program and eventually to continue by leading some of the tours for children, etc.

If you are interested, please attend either our first training session:

Wednesday, August 18^th (0900-1130); and/or our first open house event:

Saturday, August 21^st (0830-1200)

 

(If you would like to participate, it's important that you try to attend one of these events – preferably the training session).  If you know of any education students who might also be interested in this opportunity, please feel free to forward on this notification and/or have them contact me.  I'm also attaching a PDF with a few more details about the event (our Ballona newsletter).

 

Additional important dates to keep in mind… Our next bacteria sampling event:

Thursday, August 12^th (all day!); and the reading times on:

Friday, August 13^th (throughout day)

 

PS – here are a couple cool coyote videos on our youtube account for the Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project.  They came from our Critter Cams.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Saturday Beach Clean-up!

Hello ES&P Club Members,

     This Saturday, August 14th, is our first club event of summer: the beach clean-up!  We will be meeting at the Belmont Pier in Long Beach on the sand at 10:00 AM, and clean until noon or so.  Carpools from school will be leaving at 9:30 AM meeting outside of the International House Dorms (near Lot 1 and Belflower Blvd.).  Please try to let us know ahead of time via email if you are planning on carpooling with us, so we can get an idea of how many cars we need.  If you want to carpool, but are running late please call me at (562)714-0989 so we don't leave you behind!

     Trash bags and gloves are provided, so just bring yourself, some closed-toed shoes (there are often broken glass bottles in the sand), your reusable water bottle, and some friends!  Don't forget about the Colorado Lagoon event afterward, if you have RSVPed.

Hope to see you all Saturday!
