Frock Swap to benefit the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center Saying that a woman deserves to be raped because of what she was wearing is one of the most prevalent myths about sexual assault. That belief shifts the blame from the offender to the victim. On Saturday, April 27 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. there will be a community Frock Swap benefiting the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center at the Monterey Institute of Inter- national Studies in the Digital Learning Commons. There is a $10 suggested donation and the cost includes one raffle ticket. This event is in conjunction with Denim Day on April 24 which promotes a woman’s right to dress how she wants knowing that no one ever deserves to be raped. Early 20th Century Handpainted Denim Day began in 1999 as part of an international protest of an Italian High European Console, excellent condition Court decision to overturn a rape conviction because the victim was wearing jeans. 50”W x 20” D x 38 1/˝ H For the Frock Swap, women bring gently or never used clothing or accessories to 1 exchange and share with other women.

recent Boston events Since 2010, the Big Sur International Marathon has welcomed a special category of runners – those who take the challenge of competing in the historic Boston Marathon followed directly by the scenic Big Sur Marathon, either six or 13 days later. Both are iconic, challenging, “bucket list” races. This year’s Boston 2 Big Sur (or B2B) Challenge has taken on even greater significance, as the race truly unites runners between the two coasts. Four hundred runners signed up for the challenge which sold out several months ago. Even though many weren’t able to finish last Monday’s Boston Marathon, they will still receive a B2B finisher’s medallion, finisher’s jacket and will gain admittance into the B2B tent following this week’s race, Sun., April 28. This decision was welcomed by dozens of runners. “I am thrilled with your decision,” posted Michele MacLean of Gar- diner, ME, on the Big Sur Marathon Facebook page. “I am running Big Sur marathon for my 3rd straight year...this one as part of B2B, which after this past Monday is a special honor. I was fortunate to finish Boston just before the first explosion and hoped you would grant all that weren’t able to finish the opportunity to still run. Your decision makes me especially proud to be a part of B2B running crowd!!” In an effort to honor those affected by the events in Boston, the Big Sur Wed., April 24 the club’s weekly luncheon held at the Pacific Grove Golf Links Marathon will be providing opportunities for all runners to unite and pay Point Pinos Grill honored all those who participated in the ladies spring handicap homage to victims, runners and the entire Boston community. tournament.

Scouts work against dune erosion at Asilomar Earth Day service project and learning experience

Cub Scouts from Monterey participated in an Earth Day service project at Asi- lomar State Beach. They learned about erosion and preservation from the Park docents and rangers, and then set out to work on the dunes. The scouts, their leaders and parents collected kelp from the beach, bringing it back to the dunes to provide fertilizer for the seedling plants that they then planted on the dunes.

Cub Scout Pack 131, with members from Carmel and Monterey, completed this Earth Day project as part of the World Conservation Award, and other scouting requirements. Members of Cub Scout Pack 132, with members from Pacific Grove and Monterey, were also in attendance.
