opportunity to the

committee’s notice at our

3rd committee meeting. We

for workers from their

companies to help with the

personally spent their Sunday

more clean and green.

On Sunday, June 16th at 6

AM sharp, approximately 30

Seashore Town residents and

volunteers gathered to

participate in the Chennai

Costal Cleanup 4.

We were instructed how to

segregate the garbage we

collected to maximize the

amount that could be

recycled and minimize the

amount that would be sent to

the dump yard. The event

coordinators also distributed

gloves and plastic bags to all

of our volunteers.

We spent the first half of the

morning collecting plastic

wrappers, bottles, clothing,

thermocol and other debris

from 6th Avenue to 11th

Avenue. Then we dropped off

the bags we had filled at 6th

Avenue for the Corporation

of Chennai to pick up and

made our way from 6th

Avenue to 1st Avenue. After

two hours of collecting

garbage, we reconvened at

6th Avenue and refreshments

were passed out.

This event was organized by

the Chennai Trekking Club

and sponsored by The Hindu

and Casa Grande. Over 100

groups totaling 5,584

volunteers collected 36.7

tons of garbage from Marina

beach up to Kovalam. The

Seashore Town Plot Owners

and Residents Association is

very proud to have been a

part of this great cause!

Thank you Mrs. Geeta

Nambiar for bringing this

Can lasers do magic?

A laser (light amplification by stimulated

emission of radiation) is a source of light with a

spectrum of above 400nm. Different types of

lasers are used for different skin conditions.

Vascular lasers are used to treat vascular

birth marks, spider veins, acne and rosacea.

Pigment lasers are used to treat tattoos,

melasma and other pigmentation disorders.

Destructive lasers are used to destroy

unwanted and excessive growth in skin. Until

now, the results of vascular and pigmented

lasers are not encouraging, even with multiple

treatments.

There are also two types of cosmetic lasers.

Facial rejuvenation laser (fraxel)

Hair removal laser

The results of cosmetic lasers are more

encouraging. The fraxel laser is used to treat

acne scars and facial wrinkles, and the hair

removal laser is used to remove unwanted hair

on the face, hands, legs, armpits etc. Although

hair removal by laser is more commonly

requested by females, nowadays more males

are undergoing this procedure, especially for

their beard area.

The Corporation of Chennai has

outsourced the cleaning of Seashore

Town to J. P. Enterprises. Several

labourers from J. P. Enterprises can

be spotted daily picking up litter and

removing weeds from the sides of

our roads. They are easy to identify

as they wear neon colored vests.

Please assist their efforts and the

Association’s to keep Seashore Town

clean and green by requesting your

household staff not to litter or burn

garbage or garden waste. There have

been several incidents of late of

burning waste along the sides of the

roads as well as in empty plots. This

practice leads to unseemly, blackened

spots and produces hazardous gas.

Instead, please rely on the workers

from J. P. Enterprises. Residents can

contact the supervisor in charge of

our area, Ms. Lourdu Mary, to

request the removal of overgrown

shrubbery, litter and garden waste.

She is available at 9677021231. We

thank you for your cooperation and

support.

Seashore Town Ladies Circle by Usha Bhushan

The Seashore Town Ladies Circle met at Cascade on ECR on June 19th. Ladies Circle Chairwoman Geeta Nambiar,

Secretary Usha Bhushan (along with daughter Ahana), Mrs. Chitra Srinivasan, Mrs. Sucharita Kumar and Mrs. Deepika

Philkhana attended. We treated ourselves to some delicious Chinese cuisine over a leisurely lunch and then discussed the

yoga classes which were being held in Seashore Town. Several of the ladies present expressed interest in joining and were

encouraged to do so by former yoga class students. We also talked about the beach clean up, which the Association

participated in the previous Sunday. Secretary Usha Bhushan recommended the Marriott Cook and Dine event as a

potential activity for the Ladies Circle, and a unanimous decision was made to attend it for our July meeting. For the latest

updates on the Ladies Circle, email usha.bhushan@gmail.com and request to be added to our Google Group.

Keeping It Clean and Green

Apologizing doesn’t mean you were wrong or the other person was

right. It means you value the relationship more than your ego.

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
