CALIFORNIA COASTAL CLEANUP DAY
The City of Long Beach is seeking volunteers to help clean up several sites in Long Beach by participating in the 22nd Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 16, from 9 a.m. to noon.
The 2006 Cleanup will look to build on the success of last year’s event, when an estimated 52,000 volunteers turned out to remove just under 1 million pounds of debris from California’s shorelines – the largest single event in terms of volunteers and pounds of debris in the Cleanup’s history.
Here in California’s fifth largest city, the trash problem is exacerbated by geography. With more than twenty-eight communities upriver from Long Beach, there is cause for concern among local residents. The City of Long Beach lies between the mouths of two large river systems, the Los Angeles River on the west and the San Gabriel River on the east. Eighty per cent of the debris found here is from other jurisdictions, carried here by the storm drain system and these rivers. “It is crucial that we enlist as many volunteers as possible to work at the City’s twelve cleanup sites”, said Christopher Ward, Long Beach Coordinator. “The numbers of local people willing to help out has increased each year since I began in 2001," ard said, “and this figures to be the largest cleanup in our City’s history.”
Volunteers are encouraged to register online at www.coast4u.org. Call the City of Long Beach Coordinator, Christopher Ward of El Dorado Nature Center, at (562) 570-4885 for more information.
Participants should bring hats, sunscreen and water. Bags and gloves will be supplied. Parking will be free at all locations. Certificates of Participation will be available upon request. For more information on the California Coastal Cleanup Day visit www.LBParks.org.
Sponsored by the California Coastal Commission with support from the Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine and the El Dorado Nature Center, this event supports California’s contribution to the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC).

I had a few minutes today and wanted to share some exciting news with all my MySpace buddies.
As many have heard already, I have a new reality show coming out this January on Fox Reality Channel called "Seducing Cindy"! I'm soooo excited for everyone to watch.
In the mean time--- I have a new Facebook page, and a twitter page now.
If you cannot come in person, please paypal or mail a donation to support the animals during the winter!
If you want to donate an item to the silent auction at the dinner, please send an email to donations@chingsanctuary.org If you have any other questions, e-mail volunteer@chingsanctuary.org
Thanks so much for the add and supporting my music :-)
I'm an Aussie Singer/Songwriter about to release my debut independent album Ladybug, featuring the song Blackbird which I wrote as a tribute to all animals on the planet and the amazing life lessons they can teach us when we respect and appreciate them.
If you have a chance to check out my music, I would love to know what you think.
Any comments or friend requests are always welcomed and very much appreciated :-)
Thanks again for your support, hope all is well in your world!
