August Volunteer of the Month: Helen Cross

Congratulations to Helen Cross our August Volunteer of the Month! Helen is a CORE member and activist extraordinaire with the First Coast Chapter.

Since getting involved with the First Coast Chapter last year, Chair Paul Hayden reports that Helen has helped with, "everything and anything we needed help with! She has helped with beach cleanups, rallies, Black Tie & Baggies, our art auction, and has been to every meeting!"

Helen is passionate about protecting Florida's coast from oil and gas exploration. She has attended and provided comments at multiple Bureau of Ocean Energy Management meetings in opposition to the recent proposal to open the Atlantic Coast to seismic airgun blasting.

Helen has lived in Jacksonville since 1999 where she is also a passionate surfer and volunteers with multiple non-profit groups. Somehow she manages to run her own small company and Hel + LLC and work for a Global Logistics Company.

 

Thank you for all that you do for our oceans, waves and beaches, Helen!
