National Orange Day

National Orange Day is a wonderful tradition that brings the SU community and alumni clubs across the nation together to celebrate the history of SU, and to engage in projects that support our respective local communities. This year, the SUACSF is organizing a "beach clean-up" on Singer Island. The event will be held at Ocean Reef Park, 3860 North Ocean Drive, Riviera Beach, FL (Singer Island). Event details will also be posted on our Web Site www.southfloridasyracuse.com and on our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118345588237036#!/event.php?eid=118345588237036#!/event.php?eid=177194832317129 , and is also available on this link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118345588237036

We are meeting at the beach at 9:00am on Saturday, March 19th and will be on the beach for about 90 minutes. Please dress accordingly and bring plenty of sun protection. Teams of 4 members will work together to collect debris from the beach. There is a team entry fee of $20 which will be used to offset costs of the event and as a contribution to beach cleanup efforts and Syracuse University Scholarship Fund. Additionally, we are accepting sponsorships for the event, with the sponsors name to be published in the event PR material and on back of the event T-Shirt. Sponsorships are also $20. Community service credit will be awarded to all students that wish to have the credit, bring your forms so they can be endorsed properly at the registration desk that will be set up at the event. Each participant should bring a pair of latex gloves with them as they will not be provided. Garbage bags however will be provided and available to all participants. There are showers and changing rooms, so for those of you planning on staying after the cleanup to enjoy lunch with the SU group, please feel free to bring a change of clothes.

After the beach cleanup we will have a post event lunch at Johnny Longboats(http://www.johnnylongboats.com/Restaurant_West_Palm_Beach.php) to relax and share stories and hand out awards for best cleanup teams and have some Syracuse Trivia contests for prizes.
