September 11 – Paddle Out Honoring Those Not Forgotten 

Join your friends and family for an evening of sharing memories of those who are gone but not forgotten.  Bring your surfboard to Pelican Beach Park for a 6:30pm Paddle Out and a moment of on-shore meditation to remember and honor victims of 9/11, military heroes and close friends no longer with us.  We have so much for which to be thankful and many people we should remember with honor, pride and love.
