Please Recylce - It benefits our beaches!

If you have a daughter who plays in the West Valley Girls Softball League at Hughes Middle School in Woodland Hills (as many Aloha Beach Camp kids do), this post is for you.

Aloha Beach Camp and the West Valley Girls Softball League (WVGSL) has initiated a new recycling program at the Hughes Softball Fields. Prior to establishing this program, several people always made a point to clean up as many bottles and cans as possible after each softball game. But the trash cans were always filled with more bottles, cans and other recyclables than just plain trash, so I approached the WVGSL Board of Directors to propose starting an official recycling program. 

The idea was met with open arms, and now Aloha Beach Camp has placed several new blue recycling containers at the Hughes Fields so people are completely aware that WVGSL now recycles and that Aloha Beach Camp is the program's sponsor.

As the program sponsor, I bring the recycled bottles and cans to the local recycling center on a regular basis and we have already raised a few hundred bucks, whereby Aloha Beach Camp donates 50% of the proceeds to the WVGSL and the other 50% to Heal the Bay, a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping southern California's coastal waters safe, healthy and clean. 

If your daughter participates in the West Valley Girls Softball League, please remind her to recycle! Thanks!
