‘Creeps’ cleaning up Alki next Saturday – with your help/donations

(Not the cleanup site, but not far! Beauty shot from Michael of the Beach Creeps)
Even before the crowds of spring and summer arrive, Alki Beach and points south need a helping hand or two, or ten, or a hundred. A group of bicycling friends is hoping you’ll lend yours for their planned cleanup one week from today – or at least donate trash bags and gloves:

The Alki Beach Creeps Bicycle Club is planning on doing a beach cleanup, March 2nd at noon.

We are going to start at Constellation Park and pick up as much of the trash as we can that afternoon. There is a HUGE mass of styrofoam and plastic on that side of the beach, along with a lot of random trash. We feel that it’s important to give back to our community and will do our best with our limited resources to do our part.

We have 15 members or so but anyone is free to attend. Trash bags, gloves, and beer (to keep us motivated) will gladly be accepted. Thank you very much and we look forward to your help keeping Alki looking creepy!

For questions about donations, please feel free to E-Mail: Michael D. Adams (Director of Marketing) at brothamichael@mac.com

Sincerely,
Guy Olson/Willis Mathiasen
Co-Presidents
Alki Beach Creeps Bicycle Club

Yes, we’re sure they know the rules; the beer’s no doubt for afterward. Anyway, now that spring cleanup season is here, let us know about yours – editor@westseattleblog.com – we already have a few more announcements in queue.

    We will also be respecting the private beaches and not to trespass on them.

    I tried searching the Internet for the Creeps and could find no info. Alki Bike club for those who are in the know? Creeps is a weird acronym (hopefully) BTW.

    Great idea, and thank you! It’s on my calendar!

    Yes, no trespassing and we will not be disturbing any sea creatures. I’m going to focus on cleaning up ALL styrofoam and plastics. Which is a huge killer when ingested. I hope we get a few random members of the public. Thank you West Seattle Blog!!
