In this time of a rebuilding economy, Friends of Oceano Dunes (“FoOD”) continues to need your help as we diligently push forward in our efforts to keep the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (ODSVRA), formerly known as Pismo Beach, open to all.

“FoOD” is a non-profit organization working solely for the cause of saving the ODSVRA and all our work is 100% volunteer; there are no salaries paid. We do this for those who wish to visit Oceano Dunes and enjoy participating in the many varied activities available at this popular park, the only remaining portion of beachfront OHV land in California. In order to be successful in this endeavor, a tremendous amount of resources, including volunteer time and financial support from our many members and supporters, is required. We hope that you will show your support our efforts in maintaining “access for all.”

As part of our fundraising, “FoOD” holds an annual Crab Feed in Hanford, CA each year. This year’s 8th annual event will be very exciting, with dinner, cocktails, music, dancing, auctions and raffle prizes. The 2010 Crab Feed will be held Saturday March 27, 2010 in the Grape Room at the Kings Fair Building and our hopes are for it to be bigger and better than last year!

“FoOD” is seeking donations (merchandise, gift certificates, etc.) to help make this event exciting. All donations are tax deductible (Tax ID#954867891) and every dollar earned goes into the “FoOD” legal fund. This fund supports our legal efforts and allows “FoOD” to continue our fight to keep the most popular State Park in California open. We greatly appreciate your support and we look forward to seeing your donations at this event.
