He was very perceptive and very understanding and very honest. We were able to communicate in a way that was exceedingly positive and at the same time, very direct.

We are hoping for a banner year and looking forward to an impressive turnout on this, our 20th anniversary of the New York State Beach Cleanup. We want to thank all of our volunteers and the organizations involved. Without their support and time, this event would not be possible.

Our thanks go to all the volunteers and their organizations for joining us on September 17 to make a difference on our beaches and waterways.
