I would like to welcome the 8 newest members of SURF. Training was yesterday and we focused on what our visitors are asking the most about at the moment, turtles and their nests. What a nice change from nothing but petroleum product. I'd also like to throw out a hardy HOWDY to the AmeriCorps folks that joined us for training! Sounds like they'll be down at our beach for the next 4 weeks before heading out again. If you get the chance to meet up with them at their pavilion in the main parking lot by the pier, stop in and say HI and see what they are about.
On the administrative side, we have NEW ID badges! The new cards are smaller, don't have sharp edges, and feature the SURF logo. They can be picked up at the firehouse. If you were in yesterday's class, you have a new ID and lanyard. If you already have an ID, hang on to your lanyard and use the new ID card. The old ID card you can either toss, shred, hang on to for a personalized party coaster, or keep in your purse for the next wobbly table fix at a restaurant. Totally your call.
Due to running out of supplies, time, patience, and swear words for my printer, I do NOT have the following IDs ready:
Rabas
Irby
Endry
Adkison
Turner
the Brustads
Lawrence
the Mannings
I will get them done as fast as I can and get them by the sign in book.On the beach front, the beach is clear and gorgeous! Tar balls washed up for a bit on Pensacola beach yesterday, but have stopped and have been cleaned up. All swimming advisories in Pensacola, Orange Beach, and Perdido Key, Baldwin and Mobile counties have been lifted. Although the oil impact notices are still up. There are no warnings or advisories in Okaloosa or Santa Rosa counties.
That's all I've got for the day. Be safe, have fun, and share the knowledge.
