KFC Coastal Mission- Shore Dive

At the end of each month we organize a coastal mission somewhere along the Southern California shoreline. The exact dive site depends on conditions that week - visibility, swell, surge, and what the ocean feels like doing - so we will finalize the location a few days beforehand. Anywhere from Orange County up through Ventura County is fair game. If you’re interested in joining the mission, RSVP here so we can send updates once we lock in the site and meeting details. The plan is simple: meet up, gear up, and spend a good day along the coast with other divers. Sometimes that means a couple dives and calling it a morning. Other days we hang around longer, stretch out on the beach, hydrate properly, compare notes from the dive, open a favorite beverage, maybe watch the sunset or wander off on a coastal hike. Some missions are calm blue-water days. Some are classic SoCal shore adventures. Either way the recipe stays the same. Cold water. Prepared divers. Proper hydration.

Friday Mornings / Beach Volleyball

We meet every Friday morning at 9:00 a.m., in Manhattan Beach at the 4th Street courts. This group is open to INTERMEDIATE AND UP LEVEL players. This group is NOT for beginners. First time players are asked to show up and play before they ask to join the group via the Meetup app. For members, players are asked to bring their own volleyballs & lines, if you have them. Please RSVP as early in the week as possible so that we know that we have at least four players. To ensure the game is played on the same page for all, this group follows the USA Volleyball Beach Rules which can be reviewed at: [https://usavolleyball.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2025-2027-USAV-Beach-Rules-Book_FINAL.pdf](https://usavolleyball.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2025-2027-USAV-Beach-Rules-Book_FINAL.pdf) We look forward to seeing you on the sand.

Atheists Volunteer! West LA Highway 405 Cleanup 🦺🧹

Atheists United supports the community by sponsoring bi-weekly highway cleanups in partnership with CalTrans Adopt-A-Highway Program. We serve two locations, the 2 freeway in Glendale and the 405 highway in West Los Angeles. Please help keep Los Angeles clean. NEW LOCATION: We'll meet at Stoner Park on Westgate Ave (between Missouri Ave and Nebraska) see map. Look for a red Toyota 4Runner SUV (call Steve, the organizer, if you can't find the group 310-686-8862). After everyone parks we'll drive/carpool to the stretch of freeway on the 405 freeway between National and Santa Monica Blvd. What to wear: Sturdy shoes, long pants, a hat, and sunscreen. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up during the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16 years old. Lunch/Dinner or Refreshments: We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup. How long: The highway clean up will take about 2 hours plus optional get together for refreshments afterwards. RSVP: Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is common courtesy. Also especially important if you are the only other volunteer signed up, because we can't do the cleanup with only one person. Other details: Please post any questions you have in the comments and I'll update the event with more details.

Life Rolls On Santa Monica (Volunteer Event)

**Hi all,** I wanted to set up a Meetup for an incredible organization we’ve volunteered with before — *Life Rolls On*. They help people with disabilities experience the thrill of surfing, and they'll be hosting an event on **Saturday, June 6 in Santa Monica**. From their website: *“Life Rolls On is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people affected by spinal cord injury and other disabilities.* They host *“epic surf and skate events for wheelchair athletes.”* Website: https://liferollson.org/santamonica Their videos show what they're about https://vimeo.com/109601866 https://vimeo.com/365310680 https://vimeo.com/455304402 Please see their FAQ section for more information: https://liferollson.org/volunteer-faq Online registration closes on Saturday, May 23. If you don’t make registration, **walk-up volunteers are welcome** on the day of the event. One of the event organizers mentioned that **volunteer sign-ups have been low this year**, so any extra hands would be a huge help. *Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.* I’ve volunteered at this event in the past, and it was such an amazing, moving experience — seeing the joy on the surfers’ faces as they catch their first wave is unforgettable. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s interested in giving back and spending a beautiful day at the beach. Hope to see you there!
