We want to thank all the volunteers who came out on April 25 for LBI Business Alliance's 1st Annual Green Up Clean Up (GUCU). The event was a great success, not only in picking up the trash around the island, but also in creating awareness to the environmental issues facing the island. We picked up over a ton of trash, and we can’t tell you how many cigarette butts were in there! We also want to thank some people for their involvement: Tim from Timster for volunteering his time and services in picking up all of our trash bags and taking them to the landfill, Rick from Typestries for creating and printing all of the re-usable signs for the event, John from Nardi’s for purchasing the full-page add in the Sandpaper, Dark Star Café for the lunches, Andrea from Active Imprints for her design on the back of the t-shirts, Coastal Printing for the posters, Mr. Milton for his generous donation, Long Beach Township for hosting the beach bonfire, and the Beach Haven Fire Department for keeping us safe at the bonfire, Surflight Theatre for donating trash bags and gloves, all of the Municipalities on the Island for also donating trash bags and gloves, and Christine for helping with all of the deliveries to our crab traps.
Much thanks to the JBI girls: Tanya, Andi, Gabby, Brittany, Rebecca, Karen, Kerri, Ashley, and Cassie for tie-dying 300 awesome t-shirts and making 600 bracelets!
