More details, from one of are previous posts, are provided, but don't hesitate to call us up with any questions!

Sacramento Bee Picks up Merced Sun-Star Rubber Bark™ Story

Here is the originial article from the Merced Sun-Star about Rubber Bark™ that was published last week. And here is the story in the Sacramento Bee, a little shortened. We are really excited that the press is shining a light on our business as a success story during these hard economic times.

Also: A reminder! CalRecycle opened its applications for tire-derived products grants last week, and now is the time to get going to the application process, with Rubber Bark's help. And also, as stated in a previous post, we are offering a FREE SUPER SACK to any of those individuals who seek out Rubber Bark's guidance during the application process.  The applications close on September 30th.

Tire-Derived Product Grant Applications NOW open

The day is finally here! Like Christmas we got up early because we were so excited about the TDP grant applications that are now open for public entities.

Check out CalRecycle for eligibility requirements and the general know-how of the application.

But also make sure in entrust Rubber Bark™ to help you out with the application process which includes estimations. And to sweeten the deal this time around not only are public entities (the grants proposals that are accepted) going to be swimming in Rubber Bark™ paid for by CalRecycle,  a person referring public entities to Rubber Bark™ will also get a SUPER SACK of Rubber Bark™ simply by seeking out the guidance of the wise Rubber Bark™ scholars of grant funding.

Some guidelines for getting a free SUPER SACK from Rubber Bark™ include: Make sure the person that contacts Rubber Bark™ has the "ok" from a decision maker of the public entity that is trying to get funding, such as a school district's board.

Concurrently, it's best to help encourage those on the board to pass resolutions to obtain Rubber Bark™'s services or applying by speaking to board members directly and one-on-one. Also, it would be smart to go to the meeting when the resolution is voted on.

Once Rubber Bark™ is notified that a grant package by the public entity has been submitted to CalRecycle we will send over a free SUPER SACK to the PERSON that helped the public entity get their application in shipshape and turned in on time with Rubber Bark™'s help.

The public entity will be pleased that it accomplished the application for positive change within the community and the person can feel great for letting the public entity know about the opportunity, while gently nudging it along the application process.

Applications are open until September 30th.

A collaborative project takes many components and Rubber Bark™ thinks it is a lot like Christmas - the more the merrier.

So, go forth public entities AND those who love them, on the epic journey of CalRecycle TDP grant funding. Just remember to seek wise counsel.

New blog contest! Another Super Sack on the line!

Yes, we want even more followers! But first, we must thank all those who started following the blog for the first contest. Thank you so much!

This week's contest is just like the previous one with an added twist. The previous contest consisted simply of starting to follow the Buzz and you were automatically considered for the Super Sack, or at least that's what the last contest winner Jenifer A. did! So, follow the blog (click on the button at the right of the blog are that says "follow") and you are automatically considered!

However, the added twist is for all those that refer someone else to become a follower they make their chances greater by how many people they refer. So, say Joe gets Sara and Ernie to follow the Buzz too, Joe now has a triple the chance to win. (The algorithm in which we pick the winner is very sophisticated and you need at least a PhD from MIT to understand it, just kidding!)

In order to assure honesty and fairness we will be checking the followers listing frequently and those that refer someone, MAKE SURE YOU LET US KNOW! Either in the comments section of this post or on our facebook page (you may send us a message)! The deadline is TBD.

Got it? Good, now go find some friends or interested parties to follow the Buzz!
