Mark your calendars! TrashFest will be October 5th
this year!

Come take part in the oldest underwater clean up event in the
country, enjoy a fun day of diving in New Braunfels, Texas and an after-party
BBQ where all team members are eligible to win great door prizes. Last year’s
participants took home nearly $42,000 in trips, dive equipment, and other
awesome stuff!

All the low-down can be found at the TrashFest website. (To be
updated this week).

Pre-registration starts August 23rd. CHUM was great last year in helping. Please let me know if you can volunteer. I need help before and during the event.
Hope to see all of you there!

I really wanna do this! I was in New Braunfels when they had this last year but was otherwise engaged.

Sadly,
we must announce that Trashfest 2013 on October 5th has been
canceled.


Due
to a number of factors, we have concluded that the event this year cannot
achieve the high level of participation and fun to which we have become
accustomed. As a result of regular river cleanings and stricter law
enforcement, the river is remarkably clean. This is a Good Thing. This has been
the primary objective of Trashfest since 1974. We hope that the river remains
clean.


We
apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. In the next few weeks
we will arrange refunds for all registrations and shirt sales as well as return
of any donations.


We
are looking forward to a new Trashfest 2014 that will refocus on the other
objectives listed under About Trashfest in a way that will be even more fun. We
are evaluating alternative locations, dates, and activities. We do welcome your
suggestions.
