So there's four and I don't know who the other four volunteers were One was our kid. So there's five out of the eight That was the first one we did in April of 2016 And that cleanup Very small, which is eight people. We got a couple of bags of trash And at that point we decided this is the beach that we that we go to every weekend Why not keep it clean?
