Note: Beach Crossover Changes	Palm Beach County has renumbered the beach crossovers from Boca Raton to Jupiter to enhance emergency response time. The dog-friendly beach crossover numbers are now 25 - 59 (previously 2 - 4). The roadside phase of the project is finished in Jupiter; the corresponding signs on the beach will be installed soon. Most crossover numbers may be found on the shower stalls, indicating jurisdiction of TOJ (Town of Jupiter) or PBC (Palm Beach County).

Please email LynneFJB@aol.com for details! Next orientation: right after the next beach cleanup. No set schedules, no set times...you share when YOU want to go to the beach! Beach Trash Shocker: Since beginning to WEIGH garbage collected at monthly cleanups since September 2006, FJB Monthly Cleanup Volunteers have removed more than 21,000 pounds of garbage from Jupiter Beach. Why are people using Jupiter Beach as a dump? Thanks to the efforts of RAPID REMOVAL, a Palm Beach Gardens firm, recyclables are now separated and removed immediately after cleanups, a further benefit to our environment. www.rapidremoval.net. BEACH CLEANUP INFORMATION: There is no need for individuals to register in advance for cleanups. We ask that ORGANIZED GROUP LEADERS kindly call at least one week prior to cleanup 561-748-8140. Groups should be no larger than 25 people. If you have a group that is larger, we will divide among two cleanups. We need to limit the amount of groups per cleanup and ask that you be patient as we schedule your participation. Please call our Group Coordinator at 561-748-8140 and we will respond with a confirming phone call. ARRIVAL TIME: by 8:00am, check in with our GROUPS Coordinator (right side lawn in front of the pavilion). Students wishing to earn community service credit hours must check in by 8:00 AM and be involved in the beach/sidewalk/park cleanup activities until 9:15AM to receive full community service credit. Breakfast will be served at 9:15 AM! Note: Community service forms will only be distributed at the start of the cleanup. Newsletter: Online now...Check out the October/November/December Newsletter. Vandalism: Please help stop vandalism at the beach. Report vandalism/dangerous activity to the Jupiter Police Department 746-6201. Remember: We rely solely on donations from caring indivuals like you! Please contribute today! Have you responded to our 2008 annual appeal? Please show us your support today click here. Summertime at the beach can be VERY STRESSFUL on dogs...please ONLY VISIT in the early mornings or very late afternoon... the SAND IS TOO HOT for their precious paws (if YOU wouldn't walk barefoot on hot pavement or scorching sand, your dog shouldn't either). Take fresh water with you and replenish at the water stations provided at the beach crossovers. As always, follow dog-beach etiquette and rules so that we may PRESERVE this precious privilege. BEWARE OF OIL/TAR PATCHES ON THE BEACH: Oil/tar patches come and go with the tides, and pose a messy problem for humans and their furry companions. These patches are an occasional fact of life for beach goers, and the first suggestion is, if at all possible, avoid the mess. When you discover the mess after your dog has it all over his paws and fur, make sure you have a towel with you to protect your car seat. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING TURPENTINE OR GASOLINE to remove the tar from the dog's paws or fur. These products are very irritating to your pet's skin, and can cause severe reactions. A mild dish soap, such as Dawn, is all you will need to remove oil. Tar residue will require a bit more work. We suggest first trying vegetable oil and a rag to soften the tar. If this does not work, a small amount of a product such as Goo Gone and a rag may help - always read manufacturer's instructions first. Immediately follow with a soapy bath. These solutions will also work for humans who find the tar on the bottom of their feet.
