July Greetings from San Luis Bay Surfrider

Thank you to everyone who came out and/or volunteered at Waterfest. I know the weather wasn't too hot, but the vibe was very warm.

If you were at Waterfest, I hope you had a chance to meet Curt. His band, Rasta Ferraris, will be "winding up" the crowd at the SLO Down Pub as our meeting "winds down" this Friday, the 3rd of July from 6-8pm. It's a potluck, so bring food to share.

To start the meeting, we'll be seeing some of biologist Terry Lilley's HD underwater film footage of our own San Luis Bay. We'll then discuss extending the Monterey Marine Sanctuary to include our own coastal waters. Next, we'll be putting together the pieces for events on the 5th:

  • Beach Clean-ups, late morning on July 5th:
    • North County = Morro Bay,
    • South County = Pismo/Shell Beaches.
  • Please come to the meeting, or give me a call, if you'd like to help the beaches.
  • Also, for July 5th there is the Central Coast Cycling Classic. If you enjoy cool cycling events, this is one you won't want to miss. We need you to help in our tent. Please see www.SLOCalCycling.com then give me a call to reserve a spot.
  • If you've been to www.slosurfrider.org, you've noticed the work Alan Vogan has been doing on it. Please give our website a visit to learn more about our chapter's work along with informative links. Thank you, Alan!

    Remember: Rasta Ferraris this Friday night at the SLO Down Pub in Arroyo Grande. BE THERE!
