Dear 'Links,
 

    What could be more delightful than summer time on the North Shore? But suppose  looking out to sea from your boat, you saw a shimmering oil slick. beach closedSuppose as you watched your child build a sand castle on the beach, the approaching wave glistened with oil. Suppose the raucous seagulls were unable to take off, their feathers coated with grease. And suppose the Hannah Glover had to plow through poisoned waters to take your children off to Children's Island.

        All of us depend on the beauty and bounty of the sea - we are all Gulf residents.

        Join a national demonstration - Hands Across the Sand - on Preston Beach in Swampscott on June 26 at noon. Looking out at the ocean, we will express our sorrow at the desecration of the Gulf and will gather the resolve to turn the nation towards safe renewable fuels. This oil spill is more than a warning; it is a call to action. Come join us!
