I'm back!

Okay, so life happens to you and you don't feel particularly like spreading your words of wisdom to the world.  However, my mantra right now is "I may be down, but I'm not out".

We've had a glitch, to put it mildly, in our recycling program plans. The marriage vows have been broken between the non-profit that had committed to operating the plastics baler and the committee funding and promoting the program. The non-profit simply decided at the final hour theynot to walk down the aisle with us, they were no longer interested in recycling plastic.  To say the least, this news was a kick in the gut and totally confusing to everyone who has heard.

So we take a step back and wait for the dust to settle. The media will handle the information put out to the community and we'll see if the reaction sends a message from the public.  How committed are they to this program?

So far, the feedback is disbelief and disappointment. A man, who had been following our progress, called me today and wants to help us, lending his full support.  That's what it will take.  Not only those verbally pushing us forward, but those willing to fight the good fight to the end.

However, this is a great time for me to put my energy into a different direction for a while.  June 2nd we are trying a new idea for a fund raiser for Relay for Life, our 1st Annual Big Burger Bash Festival.  Hopefully, the community is as impressed with the name as we are with the idea and all turn out in support. Although nervous about how it will turn out, we are optimistic that this will lead to the 2nd and 3rd festivals each year to come. I'm up for this!
