FIRST Project: International Coastal Cleanup
Hi all,
I'm Claire, a student leader from FIRST Team 500 which is affiliated with the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. I am inviting teams by oceans or waterways to participate in the International Coastal Cleanup held on Saturday, September 17, 2005. This yearly international event brings hundreds of people together to clean up oceans and waterways throughout the world. During the Cleanup, volunteers remove and record each type of debris found. We believe FIRST teams would be a great force in this program because we're motivated highschoolers who recognize the importance of volunteering for the good of the community.
We have contacted the International Cleanup Coordinator from Connecticut and Administrative Assistant of the Ocean Conservancy and they were excited to hear that FIRST teams might become involved in this worthwhile project. This is a great opportunity for FIRST teams to unite and help not only our communities but the project at a national level. Please pass this information on to all leaders and members of your team. If you are interested in participating, please PM or email me back as soon as possible for more information on this project.
Sincerely,
Claire
Team 500 [Team USA]
