Help keep the O.D. Beach "Barefoot Friendly" at a special Beach Clean Up on Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. Meet at Accessway #14 to clean the entire length Ogden Dunes Beach. Then, celebrate our efforts from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at a special gathering at Blue Water, 5987 Dune Harbor Drive, Portage, compliments of the Barefoot Wine Co. Please email Susan MiHalo at spsmodin@verizon.net if you plan to participate and how many will be in your group so that enough supplies are available.
The Ogden Dunes Environmental Advisory Board is dedicated to keeping our beach beautiful by participating in the Alliance for the Great Lake’s “Adopt-a-Beach” program for the past six years. During the clean-up, participants will be divided into teams along the beach, and will tally the type of garbage collected. All supplies will be provided.
The tallies are then logged into the Alliance’s on-line database, which provides valuable information on where garbage might be coming from; and how we can educate people not to litter the beach and/or Lake Michigan and its tributaries.
Barefoot Wine, a maker of fun, flavorful and affordable wine and bubbly, is dedicated to helping keep beaches “barefoot friendly.” They’ve done this by partnering over the last 20 years with the Surfrider Foundation to do beach cleanups and restorations around the country.
The special gathering at Blue Water will feature Appetizers and Barefoot wines. Because alcohol will be served, this event is only for people 21 years of age and older. Instead, we encourage families to participate in the International Coastal Clean-up Day at 9:30 a.m. on September 19. Families who participate on September 19 will have their name entered into a drawing for five free reservations for the Family Fun Night and Campout also to be held on the beach on September 19.

Can we count on you to show how much you love our beach and Lake Michigan? Please let Susan MiHalo know if you will be there, and invite your friends too.
The ODEAB is looking forward to meeting you at Accessway #14 on both dates at 9:30 a.m!
