Our story tonight is called Beach Day, and it’s a story about cooling off by the water on a hot summer day. It’s also about watermelon and the sloping sandy lake bottom, getting everything from the car in just one trip, a new book that you can’t put down, pinwheels and the magic of floating in the waves.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Alliance for the Great Lakes. They are a nonpartisan nonprofit working across the region to protect our most precious resource: the fresh, clean, and natural waters of the Great Lakes.
