2011 Schedule
It doesn’t cost you a thing; in fact, it SAVES you money. It’s green power, so it saves the planet. Plus, ALO receives a donation for every person that signs up. Again, it does not cost you a thing. How For every switch, ALO receives a donation and a residual check each month for every active customer. It’s that simple! You must use this link for ALO to get credit for your switch: www.viridian.com/alo4greenpower Utility companies simply deliver energy, they don’t produce it. By default they purchase electricity at higher rates than you actually have to pay. This is listed as “basic generation service” (BGS) on your bill under “supply charges.” It takes a couple of minutes to change suppliers and there are no new contracts, fees, or cancellation charges. The only thing you will notice about the change is a lower bill. We suggest you choose the “20%” option. Please sign up – save money, support ALO, save the planet!
Every time you shop at any of 700+ online stores in the iGive network, a portion of the money you spend benefits Alliance for a Living Ocean (ALO). It's a free service, and you'll never pay more when you reach a store through iGive. In fact, smart shoppers will enjoy iGive's repository of coupons, free shipping deals, and sales. To get started, just create your free iGive account. And when you search the web, do it through iSearchiGive.com where each search means a penny (or more!) for our cause! Start iGiving at: www.iGive.com/ALO The annual LBI Unithon is held the first weekend in June and it’s quite a sight to see! It began in 1998 when Bridget Sproul (an ecologically-minded summer visitor and ALO fan) and a friend rode their unicycles the 18+ mile length of the Island to call attention to ALO’s work. Riders from past Unithons have come from as far away as Germany, have been as young as 9 and as old as 50+. All proceeds from registration benefit ALO, along with pledges that many riders solicit on their own to support the organization. The event has been run by Raphael Lasar for the last few years; Raphael is a long-time unithon participant who broke his leg and is now unable to ride. Rather then bow out all together, he generously agreed to handle all logistics including maintaining a Web site and Facebook page, to promote the ride. This could not be done without him! ALO volunteers provide transportation back to Holgate once the race is over, supply food and beverage donations and man snack stations along the way.
Save the date: 13th annual LBI Unithon, June 4, 2011
