Dear ,
We had a great day for our 11th Annual Menehune Contest in April, and we've now posted our event photos online. My Local Lineup is producing a video that will air on iTV sometime soon. Check out the 4 minute video clip for a sneak preview! The Friends of La Jolla Shores is hosting an "un-whaling" of J.J. the grey whale - a life-sized bronze sculpture - this Sunday at Scripps Birch Aquarium. You're all invited. We've got a club meeting coming up at the end of this month at the La Jolla Brew House on May 25 - come join us. Our youth art contest is still on display at the La Jolla Riford Library through May 31 - check it out. Summer is upon us in a few more weeks - and I hope you've been lucky enough to enjoy a few perfect wind swell days at the Shores these past few weeks before the crowds are upon us!
Take care,
Lorraine Schmalenberger, President, La Jolla Shores Surfing Assoc.

Club Meeting WED. May 25 at La Jolla Brew House - 6PM
 Please join us for our May meeting and special program, featuring local author and surfer Marshall Lubin. He will be presenting a program featuring photos from his trip around the world and the adventure of a lifetime. His book, "From Boys 2 Men, an Adventure in Paradise" has been nominated as a finalist in the local San Diego book awards.
Marshall circumnavigated the planet at a time when the world was a different place - the 1960s. Come experience his serendipitous journey like those only seen in the movies, books of fiction or our imaginations, only this story is true. His journey involved sailing, fishing, a near death experience, and yes, of course, surfing - from the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and beyond - come join us to hear Marshall as he narrates this amazing journey. Kids and families are welcome.
You're all invited; and I'm sure the La Jolla Brew House will have some brew and food specials just for us. (no host bar/food). Contact Lorraine, surf club President, for more information: 858.692.5235
