Saturday June 16th 10:00 to 11:30am Core Volunteer Training. Do you want to know more about Surfrider and how to make the most of your volunteer experience? This 90 minute workshop is perfect. It is not required for volunteering at any of our events, but strongly recommended. This time the good folks at Patagonia Cardiff are offering their outdoor patio, adjacent to the store, for our use. We should have plenty of space, but seats are limited so bring a beach or camping chair if possible. Please email me or belinda@surfriderSD.org to rsvp for this.

International Surfing Day on the summer solstice, June 21st 6-8pm
Our chapter meeting this month is moved back one day to Thursday the 21st to celebrate International Surfing Day and the summer solstice. We are hosting at two locations, Belmont Park and Cardiff, and asking everyone to come out to enjoy the surf, help with a beach cleanup or just get their toes in the sand. We are looking to get food for each location and Surfing magazine is helping with some special surprises at the Belmont location. We can use four people helping organize at each location, just show up between 5 and 5:30, let me know if you are interested.
Ocean Beach Street Fair: Saturday June 23rd
Shifts: 9am to 2pm or 2pm to 7pm This street fair is always interesting and fun. We have a great location secured by the beach and close to the main music stage, just need some people the booth and a leader for each shift that can be responsible for the supplies. Please reply if you are available for a whole or partial shift.
Trestles camping Friday 6/22 - Sunday 6/24
We are having a camp out and awareness event at the San Mateo campground a mile upstream from the Trestles surf breaks. We have six sites reserved and a few open spots remain if you are interested in camping on Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday there will be a host of activities available. Please email me Stefanie if you are interested or have any questions. SSekich@surfrider.org If possible, let us know:
- Will you be attending the Saturday activities (Trestles workshop, lunch, hiking, surfing, beach cleanup, etc)? We are hoping to have media there, so even if you can't camp, we'd love to have as many bodies there on Sat….
- Will you be camping both nights (if not indicate which night you will camp)?
- How many people are in your party? (More people using less tents is preferred, let us know if you have extra room in your tent)
