Your Vaccination with SMART Health Cards
*We’re happy to introduce a way of verifying your vaccination status before
getting to Gate! You can do this by visiting the Ticketing and Volunteering
Portal https://tickets.fireflyartscollective.org/ and uploading your
SMART Health Card https://smarthealth.cards/en/issuers.html in the new
“COVID-19 Safety Requirements” section. The process should take under 5
minutes and will save time verifying your status at Gate. Find the link
directly on your Ticketing dashboard:If you don’t upload your SMART Health
Card: Please bring physical proof of vaccination to Gate, either your
original card or a photocopy. Using a copy on your phone will complicate &
slow down Gate operations, as well as forcing you to unlock your phone and
hand it over to the Security team while you sit in your car.Unvaccinated
participants: You must bring a physical copy of a negative COVID PCR test
taken less than 72 hours prior to your arrival, as well as enough rapid
tests for daily testing. This requirement is unchanged. Again, if you only
have a copy on your phone, you will need to unlock your phone and hand it
over to the Security team while you sit in your car.Questions? Contact
gate@fireflyartscollective.org *Conduct
Committee Hiatus Dates
*The Firefly Arts Collective Conduct Committee will be on its annual hiatus
from June 15th until July 18th.The Firefly Incident Report Form is always
available, including during the hiatus, but those reports will not be
investigated until after July 18th, 2022.For concerns and emergencies
during hiatus, please email the Firefly Arts Collective Board of Directors:
board@fireflyartscollective.org .While on
site during the Firefly 2022 event please bring current or ongoing concerns
to Rangers or other Safety volunteers. If you wish to report a sensitive
matter for the Firefly organization to act on, ask a Ranger to connect you
to the Board Member on call.After Firefly 2022, the Conduct Committee will
be working to revisit how we want to approach the future and recruit new
members to help that happen, look for announcements in July (or reach out
to us now if you’re extra excited)!*Parking during Exodus Really Needs Help
*Fireflies must really enjoy sitting in their car with people who haven’t
bathed for hours in traffic jams! At least that’s the impression I get when
I see that we have ONLY 5 volunteers so far for Parking during Exodus (we
need 30 more!!).In previous years, there’s been a lot of complaints about
how hard leaving the event is, and not having Parking volunteers impacts
that. Being short volunteers also overwhelms and over works the volunteers
that do step up during Exodus and causes burn out. We had so many people
step up in 2019, making it the smoothest Exodus ever. But if no one steps
up this year, we won’t have that experience.PERK: If you work an Exodus
shift, you do not need to be off the land until 6 PM or, if shifts go late,
2 hours AFTER you get off your shift. Why rush to leave on Sunday, when
instead, you can take your time and then help Exodus flow like room
temperature butter?Please help make Exodus go smoothly for your fellow
participants! Go Here to Sign Up.

any questions.*Work Weekend #2 - aka Placement (for Theme Camps & Art)
*We had a very successful and productive first Work Weekend, and hope to do
just as well with the second! This is also when Theme Camps and Art get
placed, so make sure to send a representative up there at least on Sunday,
June 12th. Folks who come up will be expected to put in at least a couple
of hours of work clearing general camp spots and trails and helping out
with other tasks before they’re allowed to participate in placement which
begins at 1PM on Sunday, so plan accordingly.If you have not signed up yet,
follow the link to the Work Weekend Sign-up (and Waiver). Questions? Email
workweekends@fireflyartscollective.org
or
placement@fireflyartscollective.org *The
Return of POWERPOINT CLUB
*Inspired by a Buzzfeed article, PowerPoint Club is an event where
attendees give THREE MINUTE presentations on any topic they are passionate
about. Three minutes is NOT a long time! It's super fun to try to convey
everything you want in that amount of time, and nobody gets bored, unlike
99% of all PowerPoint presentations. It grasps your attention and is lots
of fun. It's great for people who are afraid of public speaking because
nobody expects it to be polished or anything.Want to present? Sign up here:
https://bit.ly/pptclubfirefly https://bit.ly/pptclubfireflyWHEN/WHERE?
Camp Lamp, 9pm Thursday night (June 30). Thanks to Lamp for hosting!THE
RULES1: Presentations will be three minutes long, plus an additional two
minutes for Q&A and anything else. We will keep to this schedule within one
SECOND.2: Presentations can be anything you are passionate about.3: You
must upload your PowerPoint at http://bit.ly/pptffupload
http://bit.ly/pptffupload no later than SUNDAY, JUNE 26 in either PPT or
PDF format. Or you can use posterboard instead of PowerPoint. Or you can
choose to have no materials at all and just talk at us.4: You must sign up
at https://bit.ly/pptclubfirefly https://bit.ly/pptclubfirefly to
present. You don't need a topic yet. If we get more than 20 responses there

you want to present someone else's slides which is usually hilarious
fun.Please direct questions to Frank at aethelwer@gmail.com
