Greetings Fellow Fireflies! Are you getting excited about Firefly? The Firefly Rangers are! We are looking for volunteers who: 1) Have been to Firefly before* 2) Can be sober & responsible for a 4–hour shift 3) Understand that one of the Rangers' most important tasks is: DO NOTHING. 4) Are willing to wear a khaki costume and carry a radio 5) Care enough about their fellow Fireflies to help upon request 6) Understand that Rangers are participants first and have no authority over others in the Community. Most Rangers spend a lot of their shift walking around in pairs as "Dirt Rangers." We also have a stationary "Outpost" role (in the field by Sanctuary), or if you are good with technology we also have an "Echelon" role (basically running Ranger Head Quarters): both roles will need filling each shift! Rangering is a super-fun way to volunteer with our Community. We are very supportive of one another as a team of Rangers and of our Community as a whole. You'll never be asked to do something you are not comfortable with. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have or listen to any comments, complaints, suggestions, or other useful input you'd like to share. (please see email info below.) If you are interested, please fill out the 2014 Ranger Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ps9pUNU7MPkKWvJYg0HIiuY1hS3OOO16WibKzkkciLQ... Firefly is fast approaching, and so are more Ranger trainings! We have 3 more Ranger Training opportunities. 2 before Firefly: Monday, June 9th, 2014, 6:30pm–10:30pm Thursday, June 12, 2014, 6:30pm–10:30pm Near Davis Square @ Sparkle Motion: 11 Lowden Ave, Apt 2, Somerville MA 02144 1 during Firefly: Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014, 9:30am–1:30pm @ Firefly Advanced Ranger Training (ART) modules are also available to any Ranger who wishes to broaden their skill base. For information or questions, please visit our website: http://fireflyartscollective.org/firefly/join-a-core/rangers/ or email us directly at: rangers@fireflyartscollective.org, Ranger Dolphin, Ranger Communications Team Lead Ranger Quandary, Ranger Training & Education Team Lead On behalf of the 2014 Firefly Ranger Council and Teams * Please note: our policy is that Rangers must have attended Firefly at least once before, though rare exceptions might be made for those with extensive Rangering experience at other Burns. We believe it's important that the Firefly Rangers draw from experienced membership within the Community. We welcome and strongly encourage all first-year Fireflies to contribute in whatever other way they wish to the community this year, and to have an awesome Firefly. By participating in Firefly 2014, you will make yourself eligible to be a Firefly Ranger in 2015.
