Friends,

This weekend is the official kick-off of the Ocean Beach Foundation*!

You can join us in two important ways:

First, We are joining the Other Avenues' Annual Beach Clean-up Party THIS SUNDAY July 9th at 11am (see below for time and details),

Second, we are raising funds towards the formation of the Ocean Beach Foundation so that we will be able to set-up the organization and support the proposal we have in place regarding our clean wood burning initiative.

We are looking to raise $2000 this weekend, in $25+ donations. Can you help? Of course you can!

Team SOB (Save Ocean Beach!) came out strong for the Bay To Breakers! Check out our pics on flickr here...

We can not beleive how successful our campaign has been! Now, this Thursday we will be meeting with some city leaders to define the next steps and how to move forward...

In addition, we need to start raising funds (quick) to get the non-profit going. To this end, I've added a PayPal account ready to accept the buckets of dollars that are about to rain in...

See for yourself how easy it is to use with this link below!

Well, it doesn't get better than this!

SaveOceanBeach.org makes it to the SF Chronicle front page and today the GGNRA extends the comment period for another 45 days.

We went from 660 letters to over 1300 letters writen in one day with a little help from the good folks at Burning Man sending a notice to their big list...

Let our voice be heard!

On March 27th, the GGNRA released a document called the "Beach Fires at Ocean Beach: Planning, Environment, and Public Policy Update"

The GGNRA is considering a total ban on beach fires due to visitors who complain of hazardous litter, including nails, hot coals, and broken glass.

It's time to let the GGNRA know how important fires at Ocean Beach mean to San Francisco! Let's use the opportunity for input on fire policy to make our collective voice heard!

Don't let the GGNRA take away our right to have fires on Ocean Beach.
