Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thank you Bob, conservation committee and to the people who came out for the beautiful day. My kids were very exited to participate and can't wait to show off their shirt and certificate in school. Nice seeing everyone.
Also like to thank James and Fede for the picnic gathering afterward. It was nice to sit down and relax while the kids had a blast playing together.
Thanks Bob and the Conservation Committee, and all the folks who showed up. Great success. I talked to one participant would actually wasnt an NJRC member but found out about our clean-up by doing a search. I wish I could have made the BBQ at James place.
Here is a kind note from a non-club memeber that found our clen-up and came to help!

"To all of the members of The NJ Reefers Club that I met at the Beach Cleanup this morning,
Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in the beach cleanup with you today! I apologize for "crashing your party!" I assumed more people from the general public would be coming out to help you! So thank you so much for welcoming me with open arms. It was great to be able to do something that I'm passionate about with people who I know care about the beach and the oceans and the environment as a whole! It was a fantastic experience.
I will be sure to wear your t-shirt with pride and share the information I learned about your great organization with everyone who asks me about it. I would love to help out again in the future!
Best wishes with your speaker next weekend and all of your future projects. You are doing a great thing!
Well this picture is missing me and Bob, as well as Hawkeye and Boontonbob that came later. I am sure Bob will post his as well! I just wanted to get us started! ;D
Thanks to Bob and the other NJRC team members who helped coordinate this and be the catalyst for this great event. We have a great time and was gratified to leave that small segment of the beach looking one heck of a lot better. It was good to see the crew out there and to meet Gonzapa, Hawkeye, Taz and families.
Thanks to James for the enjoyable barbacue and for firing back up that grill since we ran late.It was great to meet your family
I look forward to the next clean up day.
I wanted to Thank everyone for a great effort yesterday and from a rough estimate it looks we removed about 50lbs of debris! I've uploaded the pictures to photobucket but haven't had a chance to downsize them yet. If you want to take a peek here's the link. Hit the slideshow!
