Beach Clean Ups!
Kitty & Daryl Willis tirelessly volunteer to clean our beaches! Many chapter members and people from our community have joined Kitty and Daryl in recent months. Believe it or not, even with our bi-monthly clean-ups there is still plenty of trash that needs to be cleaned up. If you would like to help, please contact Kitty Willis at
lunaluv3@yahoo.com
to find out how. Also, if your company would like to come out and help, Kitty can help arrange.



Surfrider Celebrates with Tom Jones
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
From L to R - Kitty Willis, DJ, Tom Jones, Jericho Poplar


A few HBSB Surfrider members had a unique opportunity
this past October, welcoming Tom Jones to River's End Cafe in Seal Beach to show their support of his epic paddle along the Pacific coastline. The purpose of Tom's magnificent feat was to raise awareness on the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans. Numerous Chapters in Southern California are working on campaigns to reduce the use of plastic... during beach clean-ups, bans on polystyrene foam in numerous seaside communities, and even bans on plastic bags.
