Beach Clean-Ups- Sept. 20

The ICC program is a worldwide event and Audubon Society sponsors the event in Rhode Island. The slogan for the event is “Keep the Sea Free of Debris.” Recently, an Osprey added a piece of plastic to their nest and the entanglement resulted in the death of one of the young birds.




So pick-a-beach. Contact them by Sept. 1 & you'll likely receive a t-shirt. SO fashion-forward.


Nine a.m. till Noon on Sat., Sept. 20.

Sailing for Education

The Middletown Education Collaborative gives money away. It collects it & gives it to schools, teachers, & their students. I missed the duck race- darn! It rained on the scheduled day.

Now they are sponsoring a cruise on Sun., Sept. 21 from 5-7 with cocktails & hors d'oeuvres. The cost is $50 if you sent in the $ by Sept. 14 or $60 if you are a procrastinator.

Call Michael Richard at 793-0306 or Cris Offenburg at 849-6200.

Checks go to "MEC" and 1100 Aquidneck Ave., Middletown, RI 02842.

With all the fundraisers & various events this month, I'll soon be looking for a job.

Thanks to Karen Roarke for the reminder & info. Will the duckies be there?
