On June 20th, surfers worldwide will welcome the long warm days
of summer and accompanying swells by paddling out and catching
waves in honor of the Sixth Annual International Surfing Day
(ISD). As is tradition with the annual holiday, surfers and other
coastal enthusiasts will do their part to give back to our
oceans, waves and beaches through various organized events such
as clean-ups and restoration projects hosted by the Surfrider
Foundation. Click the image for info on how to get involved!

Sacred Craft
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sacred Craft [http://www.surfboardshow.com/]
is a surfboard expo with the next stop at the Ventura County
Fairgrounds April 10-11. CS will be serving there,
contactstan@christiansurfers.com [stan@christiansurfers.com]
for more info and how to get involved.
CSUS Shark Replenishment Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------
One thing that CSUS members everywhere have noticed is how much
easier it is to have conversations with surfers on the beach than
in the lineup. So, after very little prayer, we have partnered
with the National Fish and Wildlife Administration and have
started a Shark replenishment project. For the NFWA this is a
great thing because CSUS will do the work to add to the number of
sharks in the wild. In addition CSUS offers a broad distribution
channel with chapters all around the country. This is a huge win
for CS as we envision things working this way: once sharks, which
will be farmed in Florida, reach adolescence we will ship them to
chapters around the country. Those chapters will then use them
as an outreach tool by releasing them into crowded lineups and
then sharing Jesus with the surfers fleeing to the beach. We
have Beta tested this idea with great success and very little
draw back – a few minor bites. If you are interested in donating
to this project or would like to be involved in any way please
email APRIL-FOOLS@csus.com [info@christiansurfers.com]. Have a
blessed April Fools Day!

This waterproof cover with non-skid backing is machine washable

Chapter Fundraiser wrap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I continue to
be amazed by God's grace and the awesome disciples I encounter as
part of the Christian Surfers ministry. Over the past few months,
Chapters have been diligently holding fundraising and outreach
events. Some Chapters used funds to send members to the National
Conference in California and others using donations to enhance
programs already in place in their community. Thank you,
volunteers for all the hard work and extra effort it takes to
organize and execute an event!! You guys are amazing!! So, just
to name a few…
• Virginia Beach: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction $1,300
raised!
• Newport Beach: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction $2,600 raised!
• Hampton: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent/Live Auctions $1,575 raised!
(Rob Schwartz auctioned off the rights to cut off his hair!
Photos coming soon!!)
I'm looking forward to the New Year! Many Chapters have already
expressed exciting ideas for fundraisers and outreach events.
