RECAP: Sustainable Living Fair

On behalf of the Sustainable Living Fair community, staff and volunteers, I would like to thank you for your support and participation in the Eleventh Annual Sustainable Living Fair this past September. We truly feel it was a successful and soulful event.

Despite the unseasonably cold temperatures, and the varied challenges of a new location, we saw numbers similar to last year, with nearly 12,000 in attendance over the weekend and the RMSLA gained 54 new members! The bike valet was at capacity all weekend, with around 1400 bicycles parked, and our shuttle had more riders than all other years combined. We have received and noted feedback from many of you and appreciate your kudos and suggestions. The feedback was mostly enthusiastic and positive but there is always room for reflection and improvement, especially with the gained experience from a new location. Learning from living is sustainability practice! We hope you will join us again next year as we implement improvements and changes to our process, layout, parking and alternative transportation options, and lives!

This year's fair featured 70 workshops, 250 exhibitors, 14 mainstage attractions and once again ran on 100% renewable energy. Our Zero Waste efforts produced excellent results with only 178 pounds of trash sent to the landfill. We recycled 175 pounds of cardboard, 589 pounds of commingled recycling and 809 pounds of waste was composted. This is a 90% waste diversion.

Once again, thanks for your involvement with the Sustainable Living Fair and please join us again next year for the Twelfth Annual Sustainable Living Fair. September 17th & 18th, 2011. Until then, be well and remember that true generosity doesn't leave you with less; it leaves you with more.

RECAP: Rocktoberfest 2010

Each year Phillip Gall's continues to advance its mission of helping those who strive to enhance the outdoor experience in our community. Through our programs and events we have seen many come to appreciate the joy of the outdoors.

In particular Rocktoberfest was a huge success this year. Not only did Rocktoberfest have its largest attendance ever but Phillip Gall's was able to raise a considerable amount of money for payment of the PMRP loan.

The goal of the Phillip Gall's Outdoor and ski is to continue to enhance the outdoor experience and help other live out their dreams. With the help of donations from supporters such as you we will continue to see this happen.

Thanks again for your generous support of our efforts!
