Sustainability Solutions Team wins Gold

Jun 26, 2009

We just got word from Karen, our state director, this morning that our team from Cape Cod Tech in Sustainability Solutions won the Gold Medal. The three students---Marcello Ribeiro, Ashley Rigonan, and Marcos Sousa---received a huge trophy and tool sets as part of their award. We'll have pictures as soon as they return to the hotel. Congratulations!

We're here!

June 21, 2009: This is Hoyin, media crew member, reporting in from Kansas City, Missouri. We’re here!

We left on an early (6:05am) flight from Logan, and upon arrival we were immediately put to work—-sorting hundreds of T-Shirts, pins, lanyards, vouchers, Worlds of Fun tickets, programs, magazines, badges and bags. Besides a small break at P.F. Changs for dinner, we worked through the day and evening until everything was sorted into bags ready to distribute to VIPs, administrators, and schools.

Tomorrow the media crew will, as usual, be at the airport to film the arrival of our delegations on various flights during the day. So, when you see John Pelletier and I at the arrival gate, smile and wave at the camera! We, along with John Steiner who’ll be arriving tomorrow night, will be roaming around the conference gathering footage for the video on Friday. Hopefully we’ll have power to actually show the video this year.

Oh, before I forget! If you have family and friends who are not able to attend the conference, they can watch the opening and awards ceremonies live online. Check out our main page for details.

C’ya at the airport! Have a safe and smooth flight!
