Coming up this weekend is the 38th Annual Avalon Underwater Cleanup! The actual event is Saturday February 23rd. It begins early in the morning so most participants arrive Friday at some point, though the first boats out of Long Beach will get you there in time on Saturday as well.
This event is open to all ALYC members. For the past 4 years the ALYC Dive and Snorkel group has had members participate in this fun and highly beneficial weekend over on Catalina. There are opportunities to assist as divers (if you are certified) and top-side for those that do not scuba. This year again, we will have members over in Avalon participating and having fun together.
Please visit this SIGN UP LINK to register and pay for the event. Also please register on this page if you are going, so we can all get together for drinks or dinner following the event. Jim Updike is the on-site ALYC coordinator. His contact number is 949-589-2498.

In 1990, Bonnie Gibson and Bobbie Reed took 15 blind people sailing on a 40-foot sailboat. Each year, they took more people out and enlisted more skippers to assist. Now, although Bonnie and Bobbie are still actively involved in the event, it has grown so large that it is sponsored by the Women's Sailing Association - Orange County (WSA-OC) and hosted by the American Legion Yacht Club and Post 291 Family.
Now, each year, over 240 blind or visually impaired individuals and their escorts spend a day sailing with volunteers from both WSA-OC and the American Legion Yacht Club. Approximately 45 skippers and boats from the community are needed to participate in this worthwhile event. Over 150 volunteers are needed to act as escorts, servers, crew, guide dog sitters and more. If you would like to be of assistance or you would like to donate items for the fund-raising drawing or service dog gift bags, please send us an email message. We are sure that you will enjoy this very special event.
