CBLA Changes
Name to PILA CAROLINA BEACH
NC (20-Jan-08) Carolina Beach
Lifeguard Association, originally formed in 1998 and reorganized
in 2005 has been renamed. The Board of Directors who
govern all actions of this association voted unanimously in
their January 2008 board meeting to change the name from
Carolina Beach Lifeguard Association to Pleasure Island
Lifeguard Association.
Although, the association has financially
supported all lifeguards from Carolina & Kure Beach the name
change is to better incorporate both Ocean Rescue groups.
Each year lifeguards are hired respectively by the Town of Kure
Beach and Carolina Beach to watch the waters and protect the
citizens, tourist and visitors of Pleasure Island and they
deserve to be recognized and supported as part of the Public
Safety Team of Professionals.
Pleasure Island Lifeguard Association will
continue the mission to provide the lifeguards of Pleasure
Island and other ocean-beach rescue professionals in contiguous
communities, as well as their affiliates, associates, and
advocates with financial, physical, practical, and moral support
in their states endeavor to help serve, protect and educate the
general public, citizens, visitors, and tourists of Pleasure
Island in all aspects of beach and ocean safety. |
