your delightful enthusiasm for keeping one of our county's most
beautiful beaches clean!
We would love for any and all that can make it, to come out to Fort
DeSoto to clean-up the beach in your funky fabulousness (we know it's
Florida and it's hot, so even just coming out and helping is the most
fashionable thing you can do! Volunteers are rockin' hot!)
And we will probably have a nice little backyard get-together at
eLeM's house afterward -- address and directions provided at the
beach.

*please feel free to e-mail me for my cell # in case you are
unfamiliar with Fort DeSoto or have further questions.
Would you like to host your own clean-up? It's easy and highly encouraged!
1. Find a spot in your community that could use some TLC.
2. Set a time and then put out the call to your lists.
Once you have chosen your date and have the specifics worked out,
send an e-mail to carmen@burnerswithoutborders.org with your clean-up announcement and I will get it
up on the BWB website. We can also help you get the word out by posting it to the lists in your area.
And after your clean-up, please consider documenting your
experience
with photos and writing a Blog for the website.
In the past people have combined their clean up with a potluck BBQ,
rollerskating, a fire, a camp out or whatever else makes cleaning up
fun.
See you out there!
