[]

As many of you know, Stand in the Sand: A 
Gathering for the Gulf is just a few days away! 
The Fund for Santa Barbara has been offering 
critical support to this effort since its 
inception and we are inviting YOU to join in!

  WHAT: Stand In The Sand: A Gathering For The Gulf

WHEN: Sunday, June 27th – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.>

WHERE: West Beach, Santa Barbara

WHO: All Of Us

As a community that experienced first-hand the 
environmental and economic devastation that 
followed our own Santa Barbara oil spill 40 years 
ago, we join together to STAND IN THE SAND 
Sunday, June 27th from 1-4pm at West Beach. This 
is an opportunity to express our sympathy for the 
human and environmental victims of the Gulf Coast 
disaster and offer our support and solidarity.

The event will include a special greeting with a 
Chumash blessing and observance by members of our 
local Chumash community, to be followed by a 
welcome from Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider 
and other notable guest speakers. Local 
non-profits will be available to highlight their 
work around coastal protection and energy alternatives.

The critical mass will culminate at 3pm, where we 
will line up at water's edge to form a gigantic, 
yellow "Human Boom" to symbolically stem the rise 
of the incoming black tide now plaguing the entire Gulf Coast.

In this one symbolic action to STAND IN THE SAND, 
let's make it loud and clear to our Gulf Coast 
neighbors that we, the community of Santa Barbara, support them.
