Join us for the next Fancy Dress Swim to Make Poverty History on Sunday, July 13, at Ocean Park Beach in Santa Monica.
We will meet at noon at Church in Ocean Park, 235 Hill St., Santa Monica 90405, and process to the Pacific Ocean where we will swim in fancy finery, crazy costume, normal swimwear or whatever you choose. If you would like to borrow one of our thrift store gems for the day, it’s easy; we will have them at the Church that day. Invite your friends to enjoy a swim with us!
This event will be the kickoff of our organizing for the rest of 2008 and a chance to enjoy summer and the beach as we tell people about ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History.
