Subject: Sat Apr 27 HOPE Festival Schedule - UMO
CODEPINK Mainers will be tabling to bring our war $$ home. We will have door hangers to
distribute and OG cotton t-shirts at cost ($5). Also, we invite you to create
your own version of our DOT which is "Wield the Mighty Pen: Share Information."
See you in Orono!
Do One Thing and Celebrate
HOPE!
Celebrating hope and our connections to each other are more important than ever with so many struggling to survive in these hard times.
Entertainment, information, interaction will be on the menu in the award winning “green” University of Maine Student Fitness and Recreation Center at the free 19th annual HOPE Festival on Saturday April 27th from 11-4.
HOPE (Help Organize Peace Earthwide) Festival celebrates Earth Day and our connections to each other.
This year's festival, dedicated to Penobscot Elder, Arnold Neptune, will feature a unique grassroots keynote by twelve members of our community ranging in age from 13 to 70+. Our friends and neighbors will each share for five minutes one thing
thing they feel passionate about that would have a major impact if many people chose to Do One Thing (DOT).
Join us for a day of wonderful music, a lively and informative children's program and delicious food for sale by local vendors.
This will be the most inter-active HOPE Festival ever! Participating organizations will also have DOTs at their tables that participants can choose to post on a Wall of HOPE. The day will conclude with a Connect the DOTs Ceremony and drumming
by the Alamoosic Singers, a traditional Wabanki men's drum group.
Throughout the day children of all ages will enjoy the informative and lively children's activities organized by Fields Pond Audubon Society, Maine Discovery Museum, Windover Arts Center and University of Maine Students. Participants will be able to
browse among more than 60 organizations working for social change and sustainability. You will be able to gather information, buy buttons, bumper-stickers, crafts, choose a DOT and sample delicious food for sale by local vendors.

The festival is free because volunteers donate time to plan and organize the festival and on the day itself. Let us know if you are willing to help with putting up posters in your community before the festival. We also need lots of help on the day
itself. Can you help with setting up, cleaning up, helping in the children’s area or at the food concession? If you can help, contact the Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine at 942-9343 or e-mail [ mailto:in...@peacectr.org
