On July 16th we had our July DWS beach clean up at Marina Park. Althoughwedidn'thaveahugecrowd,nearbymembersandofficers from Kipp King, Encinal, Castro Valley, and San Lorenzo showed up in order to better the beach's environment. As we met, we spilt and madegroupsof2-3eachandwentthroughoutthecoastlinetopick up any trash or things that were harmful to the park.Attheendwepicked up almost 10 bags worth of trash! Some of our words finds included an entirebedmattress,abag full of maggots, and a large battery. Throughout, we had fun finding and cleaning up absurdly strange or large items on thebeach.
For the month of July, we had a total of three events. This included the Ploughshares Nursery, the Charity Miles Hike & Picnic, and the Lincoln Summer Nights. Lincoln Summer Nights was an interclub event with Alameda with a total of five participants. We had some volunteers help make snacks and foods such as cotton candy and popcorn, while others ran booths and helped out with games. As the event was coming to an end, we finished up by helping the organizers clean up and had food provided for our volunteers after their shifts.We are hoping to do more fun interclub events like LincolnSummerNightsaswefindmoreevents!
