Volunteer cleanup scheduled for Saturday at Will Rogers State Beach

The Nothin' But Sand beach cleanup is set to take place Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon at Will Rogers State Beach, Pacific Palisades.

Hosted by Heal the Bay, the cleanups are held on the third Saturday of each month at a different locales and are an opportunity to lend a hand helping keep our local shores clean and spend some time outdoors.

All supplies will be provided, so volunteers are welcome to just show up (those younger than 12 need to be accompanied by a parent).

Liability waivers will be available on-site and must be signed before pitching in. Participants 17 and younger must have a parent or guardian sign their form.

Parking is $1 for volunteers, who should plan to meet on the north side of the Temescal Canyon entrance.

Groups of 10 or more are asked to call (800) 432-5229, Ext. 148 to let organizers know they plan to join in.

Such a beautiful beach...such wonderful volunteers.

GIven President Obama's "volunteer" efforts, it sure would be nice if he also stood up and said _ Let's give our volunteers more opportunities by keeping the state parks open.
