All kinds of volunteering can make a difference to society, but opportunities like these have community enrichment at their core.

Feile Festival time

This is all about the run up to Feile 2011 as I'm now organising volunteers to cover events until 15th August so it's all hands on deck.

The Feile Launch was great and everyone seemed to enjoy it and got some to volunteer for events over the Feile and everyone got some Birthday cake too, so was all good! At the start of the event I got everyone to sign in and then the fun began as it was also about volunteers meeting each other and learning about what events and help was needed over Feile. There was a good turn out and a few signed up to helping at events.

Last week I was getting my head round volunteer management for Feile - I started going through the volunteers who were already signed up for events and working out which events needed more volunteers. So it's all go at the moment.

I've started an introduction to Basic Sign Language too. It's very interesting but hard to learn when you're left handed. I've only attended one class of it so far so I'll see how I go with it.

On Saturday I had great time volunteering at a local event which happens just before Feile begins; called 'Roaring Meg' a Bikers Fundraising event and was selling t-shirts/badges and raffle tickets and not forgetting handing out Feile 2011 booklets too. I was told before the event that it nearly always rains but for Roaring Meg but it was lovely it caught a bit sunburn not so good but was fun day with live Music too.So good start to festival time and hopefully will get to some other town's festivals too over the week.
