NEXT Swimwear – an active-inspired women’s collection that’s all about swim, fitness, and fashion and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation are joining forces to present the 4th annual NEXT National SUP Day at Newport Aquatic Center in Newport Beach on Saturday, June 20 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The event celebrates stand up paddle boarding and raises awareness of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and their Pipeline to a Cure campaign.
It’s a fun, active day for the entire family, with food, giveaways and education and outreach booths. The list of sponsors includes: Caliwater Cactus Water, Capstone Partners, Chicago Paddle Co., Corporate Real Estate Services, CHOC Children’s Hospital, Global Surf Industries, Hula Girls Shave Ice, LAcarGUY, Mission Bay Aquatic Center, Newport Aquatic Center, Pipeline to a Cure, Pure Bar, SAMBAZON, SUP Connect, SUP Stand Up Paddles, SwimSpot, and Trader Joe’s.
CF is a genetic disease with chronic symptoms that include a buildup of mucus and congestion in the respiratory and digestive systems which can cause severe infections, breathing difficulties and malnutrition.
CF patients who surf and paddle board can experience a decrease in severity of symptoms. Saltwater mist surfers inhale can help lubricate their lungs and ease chronic congestion. National SUP Day was created to help spread new research findings, raise awareness, and plan a fun event for of people of all ages, skill and fitness levels.
Newport Aquatic Center is at 1 White Cliffs Drive in Newport Beach. 949.646.7725

Costa Mesa Deserves a Better Library
06.12.15
Costa Mesa has an amazing opportunity to expand its library at the Donald Dungan Library, which will provide a large children's area and a teen's room, both separate from the adult part of the library. The much needed space will allow for study and tutoring rooms, meeting rooms, and more.
And what is even better, you have the chance to put in your "two cents" worth of opinion. This will all happen at the Neighborhood Community Center, 1845 Park Avenue in Costa Mesa, at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 18, 2015. It will be the last of three community meetings about this project.
If you would like to catch up on what went on before, go to costamesaca.gov on the City of Costa Mesa's website. The two previous presentations given by the architectural consultant are also their for your perusal. Please check them out and attend the meeting on June 18.
Costa Mesa/Donald Dungan Library is at 1855 Park Ave. in Costa Mesa. 949.646.8845.
