Next Portland chapter meeting is coming up tomorrow,
Tuesday March 10th with guest speaker Diana Bartlett from SOLV! This year the Newport and Portland Chapter's are taking the lead on captianing zones on the north and south coast for SOLVs annual beach cleanup on March 28th. Additionally chapters are helping sponsor the event giving
away 500 reuseable bags for volunteers particiapting in Surfrider beach cleanup zones for the SOLV event on March 28th.. Diana will be presenting information on the history of SOLV and the beach cleanups, originally founded under the event
"Plaque of Plastics". We found this quite relevant to our current
rise above plastics initiatives so we're excited to have Diana come and present. Want to learn more about the beach cleanups coming on March 28th and see which zones Surfrider members are taking on, visit:
