22nd Annual Beach Sweep

LPBF's 22nd Annual Beach Sweep will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2011. Volunteers will come out to help clean over 100 miles along streets, ditches and lakefront for our 22nd Annual Beach Sweep Clean Up. Each year, the Beach Sweep is held in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy. Volunteers and sponsors team up to help clean up the areas that drain into the Pontchartrain Basin and this year place markers on storm drains. The Beach Sweep clean up is held from 9:00 am -12:00 noon and is followed by a picnic for all registered participants. 

For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please contact JoAnn at (504) 836-2238 or  joann@saveourlake.org.
