Chapter Updates

Our March 11th party was a success! Thank you & Gracias to all of the wonderful people who came out to the Rumshack to support our local Surfrider Chapter. According to our records, this event was the second best of all time in terms of donations received! How amazing and generous Rincon is!

The Supertones rocked it and we earned lots of cash with our raffles and 50/50 gamble. I myself had a blast hanging out with members, locals, and tourists alike. Everyone seemed to come together in positivity for a good cause & it felt great.

Just so you know, all money collected goes to our own local chapter. We currently use this money to fund projects such as water quality testing & event planning. Have ideas you'd like to share with us? Come on down to our monthly meeting, next Thursday April 7th @ 7 pm, in the pavilion located next to Club Nautico and Joe's Bar. Our office is on the second level, but we usually meet downstairs to drink a few brews and talk about upcoming plans & general love of the ocean.

Thanks again for the continued support.

At our last meeting, we discussed what exactly has been going on with the Blue Water Task Force, our local program run by a group of volunteers that helps test the Western coast of Puerto Rico's water quality.

If you'd like more information regarding the testing, check out their blog site. It is a little side branch from the Surfrider Rincon's site.

A special thanks to all of the local contributors that have helped fund this important program. A little goes a long way when helping our oceans. If you'd like to make a donation to the water quality testing program, please contact Steve at salvatrespalmas@surfrider.org. Same goes for volunteers, if any one is interested, please don't be shy! Our office is located in the Marina, right above Club Nautico.
