On Saturday we joined Ocean Net as it celebrated Earth Day by cleaning up local beaches. It was a terribly cold and rainy day but 12 hardy souls braved the weather to come out. The group included local citizens, Town Councillor Ken George, Avalon Northeast Rotary representative Tim Bell and Friends of Topsail Beach. We focused on the beach area and collected half a dozen bags of garbage as well larger pieces of garbage and buckets of glass. Thank you everyone for this fine effort!
Thanks also to Dave Tibbo and the Town of C.B.S. for donating gloves, garbage bags, and six town t-shirt “door prizes.”
Talk of another clean up has already begun: the Town has encouraged us to participate as a group in the “Pride in Your Community 3-Hour Challenge” (Saturday, June 7, from 9am to noon, with a rally at the CBS stadium from 12:30-2pm). This sounds like a great moment for another beach, trail and surrounding area clean up. More news is coming soon.
***So please mark June 7, 9am-2pm, on your calenders!***
Interested in becoming involved with Topsail Beach clean-up, etc. I live in Paradise and I think this is a
very good thing that you all are doing.
