Sunday, September 18: OCCTAC Teams Up With Surfrider Foundation at Festival of Children



           Dear Parents & Children!


The OC Children’s Therapeutic Arts Center and the Newport Beach  Chapter of Surfrider Foundation will team up to conduct this Sunday’s Festival of Children’s Community Art Workshop at South Coast Plaza.

 Date: September 18, 2011
 Time: Noon to 4PM
 Location: Carousel Court

 OCCTAC focuses on improving the lives of children through the arts.
 Surfrider Foundation has been protecting oceans, waves and beaches since 1984.

 Together we aim at educating all participating children and their families about the importance of using reusable grocery bags instead of single use plastic bags as well as keeping the Orange County beaches clean by protecting the Orange County water shed.

Now, what does this mean in terms of fun?
Kids will get to decorate their very own Surfrider Foundation canvas bags with ocean motives. The bags are theirs to keep and use - AND RE-USE!
Our friends from the Newport Beach Chapter of Surfrider Foundation will be present to teach kids why it matters to keep litter, plastic bags, automotive oil and other items out of the drains miles away from the beach.
