Wreck Beach Clean Up
Sunday June 5th, GVIAS will be hosting a Wreck Beach Clean up. All members are invited to join us down at wreck beach to help pick up litter and beautify a place that many of us call home during the summer. Typically this has happened the first week in May however the weather has been so cold and poor lately that we decided to wait a little till the sun decided to join us and help us all get naked. Stay tuned for a post about Cinquo de Juno
