> Each spring the HOPE Festival (Help Organize Peace Earthwide) renews  
> the hope we all have for a peaceful and sustainable future. Helen  
> Nearing was the featured speaker at the first HOPE Festival fourteen  
> years ago. While Earth Day was organized years ago to raise  
> awareness about the need to take care of the earth and practice  
> conservation, the HOPE Festival has expanded to raise awareness  
> around Earth Day about the many organizations working to take care  
> of the earth and each other in our communities. This year more than  
> 70 organizations, working in their own ways for a better world, will  
> share information, provide demonstrations, sell buttons, t-shirts,  
> and other products and encourage participant involvement.
> We are excited to be in a NEW VENUE this year. The light and airy  
> University of Maine Student Recreation and Fitness Center is an  
> award winning Green Building with lots of windows (visit the site to  
> see more atwww.umaine.edu/campusrecreation/facilities/ 
> recreationcenter.html). The highlights of this year's festival will  
> be a keynote talk by Eliot Coleman of Four Season Farm, a  
> performance by renowned folk singer David Mallett, the amazing  
> juggling of Zachary Field, a show by Peregrine Puppets, songs from  
> the Voices of HOPE Community Choir, and other lively entertainment,  
> as well as fun and educational children's activities, a 5 K fun run  
> and delicious food for sale from local producers.
>
> Last year we strengthened the "Green Expo" component of the festival  
> to highlight organizations working on environmental sustainability.  
> This year we plan to have lots of interactive ways for participants  
> to learn how they can be active participants in saving the planet.  
> We encourage groups working on issues of sustainability to bring  
> information and plan demonstrations and activities to engage  
> participants. Let us know if you have special projects we can  
> promote ahead of time. There will also be "talking circles" for  
> adults and children to share ideas about sustaining hope for the  
> future.
> We have a great team of volunteers who are planning this year's  
> festival as well as ways to strengthen outreach to schools and  
> churches. You can read about these exciting new initiatives in the  
> Center's newsletter, and we will be sending along information about  
> special projects and workshops to involve children and members of  
> the religious community leading up to the HOPE Festival.
>
> Rob Shetterly has designed a new poster for us this year, which you  
> will be able to color in and post in your community. Let us know if  
> you are willing to help promote HOPE in your neighborhood and we  
> will send you as many posters as you can use.
> The festival is free because many volunteers, including the  
> performers, donate their time, energy and talent to make this  
> special day possible. Volunteers are needed, especially to set up on  
> Saturday, April 25th from 7:00 - 10:00 a.m., throughout the day on  
> Saturday, and to clean up. E-mail or call the Center if you can help  
> before the Festival or on the day itself.
> The HOPE Festival is co-sponsored by the Peace & Justice Center of  
> Eastern Maine, University of Maine Peace and Reconciliation Studies,  
> Maine Peace Action Committee, Women in the Curriculum and Women's
