Dear Adam,
Summer's coming, which means we at Surfrider are
getting ready for our busiest season! Don't forget
about our TGR Movie night, screening "Out
There" at
Mezzanine, this Friday. Doors at 8pm. Movie at
9pm. Bands into the night. Special guest Shane
Dorian.
We also have an important meeting coming up with
the OB Vision
Council to begin discussions around the future of
Ocean Beach. A public meeting is planned for July,
and we encourage everyone to attend who wants to
have a say about the future of Ocean Beach.
Finally, we have two cleanups scheduled in June, the
first two Sundays of the month. They're listed here to
the right, but you can always
check our website for locations and times of
cleanups.

| 48 State Parks Saved! |
|
|
And now for some good news! Thanks to Californians'
e-mails and contributions,
Gov. Schwarzenegger REMOVED the proposal to
close 48 state parks and 16 state beaches from his
budget plan.
We at Surfrider are obviously relieved, and proud, to
have been a part of the community who helped to stop
this.
The Governor's office revieved over 31,000 of e-mails
opposing the parks closures. While the parks are
never safe and unfortunately this issue needs
constant surveillance, we can all celebrate in the
victory that the parks were not closed thanks to
everyone's support.

| Ocean Beach Vision Council - Questionnaire and public meeting |
|
|
The newly-formed Ocean Beach Vision Council
are still trying to figure out how to proceed, and early in
the process is the perfect time for Surfrider to get in
with our vision and ideas of how the planning and
maintenance of Ocean Beach should
proceed.
The first public meeting is tenatively scheduled for
early July, so mark your calendars
and stay tuned for
more information! Our chapter will be there in force to
ensure the council members know that
we care about the future of Ocean Beach and want to
see positive changes at our local beach!
The Beach Chalet Restaurant have put together a
survey to inform the council of your priorities at Ocean
Beach. Please take the time to fill out
the survey from the Beach Chalet website. If you'd
like to communicate directly to
Surfrider about your priorities and thoughts for Ocean
Beach, please email us at
general@sfsurfrider.org.
