Think Beach!

Who's ready for floppy hats and flip flops? To get ready for the season, here's a few items to check off: 1. Is it time to renew your Beach Pass? 2. Check the condition of your beach towels, discard any that are shabby or cut them up for cleaning cloths, even better, donate to your local animal shelters, they can always use towels.

3. Check the condition of your beach chairs, sunglasses, umbrellas, floats and toys. Donate unwanted items and throw out broken ones.  When shopping look for deals on summer goods such as sunglasses and suntan lotion.  4. Organize your personal beach bag.
