Make Phillips Beach Sparkle Saturday
Helpers at the annual clean-up will have first crack at a coveted Friends of Phillips Beach parking sticker.
The tide will be high and the sun is expected to shine on Phillips Beach for Saturday morning’s clean-up.
The Friends of Phillips Beach group invites families, friends and anyone else who wants to help spruce up the beach Saturday morning at 9, said Glenn Paster, a board member.

Cleaners are advised to bring gloves, rakes and shovels.
The work will take a couple hours, Paster said.
Board members will start the heavy lifting Friday, replacing planks on the beach’s signature boardwalk.
The boardwalk took a beating over the winter.
“It (was) quite a winter,” he said.
Now, the beach group wants it to be quite a summer.
