R13 BEACH CLEANUP

I am thrilled to announce that after 3 long years, our annual

Region 13 Beach Cleanup has finally resumed! This event took place at the Santa Monica Pier where members across Division 10, Division 15, and Division 35 came together for a day of service, laughter, and excitement. Not only did members have the opportunity to help clean the beach, make our planet

cleaner, and sustain a more suitable environment for everyone,

but members were also able to bond with others on the division level as well as on the regional level. To start off the event, members were divided into smaller groups and created a chant that they shared with the region shortly after. When groups were done with their respective chants, everyone was taught the Region 13 Lionfish chant and the clean-up was followed shortly after. After the clean-up, members had time to take a short break to rehydrate and play tug of war! Each division created a team consisting of 4 girls and 4 boys. Round after round, each division challenged another division until there was one team left standing. The team left standing had the toughest task yet, the championships. The championship was a competition between the LTGs and the winning team. This round was extremely intense but it ultimately ended with the LTGs taking victory. When the tug of war was completed, members were given the opportunity to explore the pier and stores around the area. Lastly, the event came to an end with a region group photo. Everyone surely had a great time and until the next region event, we will be cherishing this one for some time.
