The History Committee at the Santa Monica Bay Woman's Club is happy to announce the fourth lecture of the Our Santa Monica Bay Lecture Series: 


The History of the Lifeguards of Santa Monica Bay 

Presented by Dr. Arthur Verge, 38-year Veteran of the Lifeguard Service.  Join us September 22nd at 7:00 PM as we hear the story of the Santa Monica Bay's valiant lifeguards.

Each year more than 50 million people visit the beaches of the Santa Monica Bay to enjoy swimming, surfing and sunbathing.  12,000 of those beach-goers get into trouble and owe their lives to the skill and bravery of local lifeguards.  Dr. Verge is one of those guards and on Thursday, September 22nd he will talk about the challenges and dangers inherent to his work.
