“Sometimes you just have to remind them.” That was the premise behind the Grand Strand Chapter’s Beach Signs project which took place on a Friday afternoon in April 2000, where volunteers from a 3rd grade class at Myrtle Beach Christian Academy helped the Surfrider Foundation place over 200 anti-litter signs on dune fences in the hotel district of Myrtle Beach.
“Sometimes you just have to remind them.” That was the premise behind the Grand Strand Chapter’s Beach Signs project which took place on a Friday afternoon in April, 2000. Volunteers from the 3rd grade class at Myrtle Beach Christian Academy helped the Surfrider Foundation place over 200 anti-litter signs on dune fences in the hotel district of Myrtle Beach. With approval from the Myrtle Beach Beach Safety Committee, the 9 and 10 year olds attached the light-weight aluminum signs from 30th Ave. North to 10th Ave. South. The project was covered by local news stations WPDE-TV 15 and WBTW-TV 13. Many thanks go out for our young volunteers. The program will be expanded to North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, and Little River. If you’re interested, drop us a quick e-mail and we’ll fill you in on how you can help out.
