Brothers,

Good day, my Brothers,

This Saturday, October 3rd, we’ll be joining the Trash Pirates of Madeira Beach in their ongoing effort to rid our beautiful beaches of trash!  We’ll be meeting at Gulf Beach Lodge at 8:00 AM and then departing for Madeira Beach.

We will be providing latex gloves, trash bags, and grabbers before we depart the Lodge.  With your help, we can support the community in this great effort, keeping our beaches clean and wildlife safe for years to come.

Thank you, and see you Saturday!

Steve Johnson, Junior Warden
