Consider starting your weekend this Saturday by volunteering in the Upper Newport Bay, joining thousands across California in participating in beach cleanups on Coastal Cleanup Day. These is just a handful of the many free events and activities happening throughout Orange County – funded by public tax dollars. You can cut through the noise every morning by reading the free Voice of OC daily email newsletter. If you are interested in volunteering at another beach, look at the California Coastal Commission’s map of cleanup locations.
