twenty10 Bronzie promotion at North Bondi 23 October 2011!!!!

With patrol season kicking off last weekend (thank goodness) Lifesavers with Pride are stretching themselves this year, to not only promote equity, acceptance and the GLBT community within lifesaving, but also promote lifesaving within the GLBT community.

The committee have engaged with twenty10, and organisation that supports and works with young people, communities and families of diverse genders and sexualities, organising a beach awareness and orientation session.

This is an opportunity for us to not only teach young GLBT people about the beach, but also encourage some to undertake their bronze medallion. Whilst we will be gathering at North Bondi, this is an opportunity for LWP members from all clubs to come and spruik their own club in a bid to attract new bronzies, and ultimately increase our LWP numbers as well.

Keep the afternoon of 23 October free, more details to come!

Looking forward to seeing you all there for a great day.
