On Thursday, November 15, the Long Beach Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will hold a special event to raise funds and awareness in reconfiguring the Long Beach Breakwater. All you need is $10 at 7pm at Smooth's Sports Grille in downtown Long Beach. The idea of the event is to continue outreach through the ongoing campaign of restoring the shore, which brings us back to the 1930s. That is when people actually used to swim in the water. The vintage event will include bands, a silent auction, unique artwork, gift baskets, raffle prizes, including a surfboard. From 7-8 Roberto Dias will be selling and signing his Olas Books Series with 20% of the sales directly given to the Long Beach Chapter. From 9-9:30, there will be a short video presentation on the Sink the Breakwater Campaign and featuring guest speaker Jim Moriarty, Surfrider Foundation's CEO. Following the presentation until 11pm you will have the opportunity to dance and listen to Jim Fuller & The Beatnik playing Blues, Jazz, Surf, and Rock. Please support the event by donations for the silent auction and raffle, or by turning up to Smooth's Sports Grille on November 15th. Your support could help bring waves and a cleaner shore back to Long Beach. Hope to see you there.
