An undisputed masterpiece, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman give career-defining performances as Rick Blaine, the hard-drinking American running a nightclub in Casablanca when Morocco was a crossroads for spies, traitors, Nazis and the French Resistance, and Ilsa Lund, the woman Rick loved years earlier in Paris and whom he believes abandoned him. Set amidst the backdrop of World War II, Casablanca reaches the epitome of love and sacrifice as Rick and Ilsa weigh their own happiness against the fate of the world. (Michael Curtiz, 1942, 102 min.)

ANNUAL KARDBOARD KAYAK RACES

Sponsored by Condor Espress
Supported by Sambo's Restaurant
Additional Support by 
SB County Parent Click, SB Family Life
Channel Islands Outfitter
SB Sailing Center and Sushi Go Go

The Kardboard Kayak Race is where teams participate in a battle of wits,
design, and courage.  Teams of up to 4 will receive 2 sheets
of cardboard, 1 roll of tape, a marker, a utility knife, a yardstick, and
one hour to construct a functioning kayak.  Then they will be ready to race 
other teams in their heat, finding out whose design can hold up to the
pressure of paddling out to a buoy and back. The Kardboard
Kayak Races are divided into separate heats, with prizes awarded to
participants in the Family Fun heat (geared to family groups with younger
kayak paddlers) and the Paddling Pros heat (geared toward adult and/or
"skilled" competitors).  Speed and construction design will be the true test!

The Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence

In Congress, July 4, 1776

We hold these truths to be self evident,

that all men are created equal, that they are

endowed by their Creator with certain

unalienable Rights, that among these are 

Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, 

Governments are instituted among Men, 

deriving their just powers from consent of

the governed.  That whenever any form of 

Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is 

the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

and to institute new Government, laying its foundation 

on such principles and organizing its powers in 

such form, as to them shall seem most likely

to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Have a Healthy, Safe and Happy Fourth of July!
