So, being an events co-ordinator I am always on the look out for new concepts and ideas. Just coming from the Perth Event Show - which was held over the weekend, I have walked away with a head full of knowledge and some ideas to implement here at work.One concept was "Green Events" - reducing waste at events, making them sustainable and offsetting carbon to reduce emmissions etc. I have a few ideas which I can implement - printing on less paper, emailing out registration confirmations and…See More
Maija Ala-Kauhaluoma commented on Ally Millington's blog post 'Go Green for Events'"just few things off the top of my head

Ally Millington posted a blog postMy Volunteering Experiences: Reaching out to the youth within..
Well, were do I start! Last year I was a youth group leader for our local area, I dedicated every Tuesday and Friday night to be with around 30 teenages ranging from ages 13+ within Craigie and it was great! I was the only female leader - but together with around 3 or 4 other dedicated people we managed to organise fun activities for kids to come to and enjoy - to forget about about life or school for awhile and enjoy a safe and fun environment. I never got paid for this, I was always…See More

Ally Millington posted a blog postApril Challenge - Which Community leader inspires you?
Back in my early 20’s I met a guy who worked with The Salvation Army in the Youth Department – and had (and still has) a passion for helping young people achieve greatness. His name is Lance Jeffrey. Lance played an important and inaugural part in organising such Youth Programs as the Salvation Army Youth Camp (SAYC) and the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Program (RYLA) a good ten years or so ago; these programs are still running today. The Salvation Army Youth Camp (SAYC) provides 50 young…See More

OH! The things I could do – if only I could find the time.
Managing your time – whether it be at work, at home, for study or for specific projects is something that we all face. Online there are thousands of suggestions on how to best manage ones time – so many, in fact, that I got a little lost!
