What a successful event!

So I had this all set to publish on Tuesday and I hit a button and it alllll disappeared! And Google with its autosave.... lol  Anyway, here is my second attempt a this blog. Enjoy!

Last weekend the SCGSA hosted a beach cleanup and picnic. Can I just give a shoutout right now to Beatriz, Elva, and Laura for the great job they did putting this all together? The turnout was awesome! I think this might have been the first event in the history of the org to pull together three cohorts, and I heard people from all three talking about how great that was. Awesome job, ladies!!!

I'd like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came out, also. You all made this event a success! The picture below I know is missing Teresa. I can't place anyone else who might be missing. But great turnout!

So we all showed up to Cardiff, looked around and thought, "Well, this place looks clean!" However, we all donned our sanitary gloves, paired up, and combed the beach for trash. We should all be impressed with the amount of trash we managed to clean up! Kathy G. even found a stray dog and spent some time finding its owner! Here, my friends, are the fruits of our labors. I don't know about you, but I feel like we made a difference.

After the cleanup we ate lunch, socialized, and then held elections! This year we had multiple people running for just about every position and every candidate was extremely qualified! Here's a shoutout to everyone who ran. I want to acknowledge the caliber of leadership this program brings to the field. You all are impressive. For real. So without further ado, I present to you:
