Happy New Year from all of us here at Arkansas Earth Day Foundation. As a new year's resolution, we are seeking donations for the end of the year to aid the foundation in becoming more sustainable. We need items for the office and more incentives for our tirelessly working volunteer coordinators. Remember, the festival is produced and organized with 100% volunteer power.

While the 5th Annual Arkansas Earth Day Festival has passed, the Arkansas Earth Day Foundation is currently looking for sponsors for some creative and interesting new projects, as well as the 2009 festival.

Until our sponsorship applications are up on our website, please contact Claire LaFrance with any questions, comments, interests with sponsorship. Thanks and spread the word!

On May 18th, 19th and 20th, Hot Springs/Garland County Beautification Commission presents Earth Day 2008 in Hot Spring Arkansas, an environmental and energy efficiency education event. This weekend, AED is hitting the road to hold a booth and support another local Earth Day celebration!

Retractions: 

AED would like to appologize for the following mistakes by our volunteers:
In previous newsletters we published the incorrect web address for the printable parking map.  The correct address is: www.rivermarket.info/pdfs/parkingmap.pdf

We also left a sponsor off our list and it's one of our greatest long-time sponsors: Sierra Club of Arkansas!  They are a Branch level sponsor!  Thank you!
