Summer is here and so is BEACHTIME!
My intent is to have one Beach trip per week throughout the summer, weather pending.
I expect to alternate event postings in these groups
Why Alternate? I want to spread the joy and don't want to manage multiple lists, so stay tuned into these groups if you wanna go also.

If you are the Main Organizer of a Group that wants me to post events, I would be happy to do so.
Let me know and make me an 'Event Organizer' and I'll begin posting.
