Green Festival Launch, this Saturday from 10.00 - 4.00.  My 3rd, and I can't wait.  Nyree and Stuart have done an amazing job organising this years festival.  We have had so many people ring in interest, ask to volunteer, and wanting to participate, it's been amazing.  The festival truly does get better and better every year.

The actual launch day is so much hard work, but so much fun.  Stuart I imagine will be in Cathedral Square as the sun comes up to organise stalls, awnings, stages and whatnot.  The majority of PECT staff will come shuffling round at 8.00am.  There are bits to carry, lug, drag and display.  People to organise, shift, and direct.  After at least 8 hours on our feet, Kim will still be bouncing round, Nyree and Janine will be arm in arm laughing, Hugh will be fatherly and ask us all out for a pint in thanks, Rachel will be exuberant, Karen will still be chatting with anyone and everyone at the Greeniversity stall, and me, with my swollen ankles and burnt nose, will be in awe of the people I work with and their constantly positive attitudes and sense of community and spirit.  I'll have a big smile on my face, probably a tear in my eye, filled with respect and love for my PECT comrades, from CEO to volunteer.  Aww shucks.  See you Saturday!
