Fifth Annual Membership Drive

The Fifth Annual Membership Drive is fast approaching! Last year the membership drive generated 1,201 new members, and this year we are aiming for 2,020 new members, in honor of our 20th Anniversary. The enthralling and heated race between the New Jersey Chapter and the San Diego Chapter last year­­San Diego narrowly won by nine memberships­­will undoubtedly continue this year, as we launch the drive on May 29 and end it on September 13. Surfrider Foundation members can also participate by signing up friends and loved ones. Stay tuned for more information about the Membership Drive and feel free to contact the Membership Department for support. It is through membership that the Surfrider Foundation addresses issues of beach access, ocean water quality, beach loss and other critical issues that affect our communities and the future of our waves and beaches. The Surfrider Foundation-hosted National Conference shall take place in Costa Mesa, California, October 16 and 17, 2004. This historic gathering will bring together prestigious leaders in the environmental movement, renowned trainers in grassroots activism and special keynote speaker Dr. Sylvia Earle. This national convention will give chapter activists the opportunity to gain valuable information, develop new skills and build important relationships with activists and experts from across the country. For more information contact National at (949) 492-8170. *   *   *
