Green Earth Festival by Zen

Hi Everyone!

What a great day Saturday! Thank you all for your love and support in creating so many breakthroughs!
After great encouragement from a very enthusiastic Eunice I realized I have not been giving the opportunity to you or many other people to be a part of my project. I have been fearful to ask...but no longer! You are amazing people and I would love to have your contribution and support with this event,and I would also love for you to meet and connect with some of the amazing leaders that are already involved.

First let me share what it is all about!

The event, as a described briefly in class, will be about community Fun, Transforming the Earth and connecting to and learning about Nature! Its going to be a great sunny day, perfect for fun outdoors with your whole family!We have over 3000 native plants and trees that may be planted along the Santiago creek in a beautiful Nature Reserve in Santa Ana ( near the Discovery Center). The Festival will be nestled in gorgeous Oak Grove picnic area and we will have a community picnic and concert with three different awesome musical acts, two of which are Landmark musicians that you may know- the extremely talented Peter Wood and Gilly Kaufman! Edward Kennedy ( Liam and Anna's son) from Landmark is my self appointed leader and will be the MC!There will be 25 Local vendors and non profits, all related to sustainable and "Green" living...some examples are
