Meet Sponsor Ty Helgenberger

A few days ago we put out the call for a sponsor to help us join the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce.  A member of our community and fellow Chamber member stepped up and made this possible.  Thank you, Ty!  We could not have done this without you!

Here's a bit about Ty Helgenberger, today's featured sponsor:

"I grew up in Alaska and Colorado. My family lived in Anchorage until I was about 14 and then we moved to Montrose, Colorado. Living in those places meant that we spent a lot of time in the outdoors camping, hiking, fishing and hunting! We lived in the country on 10 acres in Colorado where we raised our own garden, chickens, rabbits, llamas and horses! 

     I graduated from Mesa State College (Grand Junction, Co) with a B.S. in Biology and a license to teach Secondary Science. I taught high school Biology for 18 years prior to starting our business.  I am married to Kathy Helgenberger and we have 4 sons and 1 daughter! We also have 3 grandkids with a 4th on the way in April! 

     5 years ago I was introduced to a nutritional company called Isagenix International (out of Chandler, Az) and started using their products because I was fat, old and tired! All of that changed when we began using this nutritional system! We decided to become professional network marketers and share this nutritional technology with as many people as we could. I quit teaching 2 years ago to pursue this full time. Almost one year ago we moved to paradise (Rockport) to live our dream life! I am now able to work from our home, coaching and helping people with their health and fitness all across the country!"

My One Green Thing: Christy, 02/25/2014

Each day, tell us one simple way you are "greening" your community, whether you are our neighbor here in Rockport-Fulton, TX, or beyond.  Today one of the members of our planning committee, Christy, shares her One Green Thing.

"Each day we want to celebrate one small step each of us is taking to "green" Rockport-Fulton, TX.  Today, my one green thing is...I live in a tiny house!  My home's footprint is less than 300sf, which means the cost of heating, cooling and powering my house is much less than a standard suburban American home.  Not only do I conserve natural resources, but I consume less in terms of human and monetary resources.  I spend less time cleaning and making repairs, and shopping for furnishings, decor, clothing and even food.  Every purchase must be deliberate.  Every square inch must be used efficiently.  My family and I lived for two years in a 300sf tent with screen porch.  And then about six months ago, we "upgraded" to a 32' Airstream!  Living with purpose, simply, in a tiny home is one way I'm making Rockport-Fulton a green community."

...And what about you?  Send us a short clip of YOUR One Green Thing!  Let's share all the ways we are greening up our little square of the planet.  #rockportearthday2014 #redfishrun2014

Parade of Vendors; Will You Join Us?

Hi All.  Christy, here.  I'm bursting at the seams with excitement about the vendors we are putting together for this year's event.  Our focus is on educational activities appropriate for all ages, so if your organization or company is interested in participating in the second annual Rockport Earth Day & Redfish Run, please contact me immediately at rockportearthday@gmail.com.  There is no vendor fee for non-profits and only $20 for for-profits.  You must provide your own table, chairs and canopy, if desired.  To secure your spot, please send a one-paragraph summary about your organization or company and the information, educational opportunities, products or services you offer that benefit the planet.  Include the name of the person who will represent you at Earth Day, along with his/her email or cell phone number, and a brief description of the educational activity you plan to offer.  As each vendor confirms, I will post their information individually.  

We appreciate all that you do, year-round, and look forward to sharing your efforts with our community on Saturday, April 19th, from 10am to 2pm!
