LNT Quick Start Guide (text version available at https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/news/lnt-quick-start-guide/) ---------- 4. Call for LNT Volunteers! Leave No Trace is looking for volunteers during two key times at the event - 1. Monday, pack out day - Volunteers will gathered at the top of the burn field around 3 PM to do a line sweep down the field. (Line sweep procedure will be explained there, for those who don’t know.) 2. Late Crew, Tuesday - LNT needs volunteers who have time in their busy lives to stay one more night on-land to help clean up the woods. The more people who sign up and help, the faster we get done, and the sooner we all get to go home and shower. Volunteers interested in staying late must attend the LNT Late Crew meeting at Diode on Saturday 7/2 @ 11 AM, or find Sway or Chris at another point before Sunday night. To sign up for either shift, please go here: https://volunteer.fireflyartscollective.org/team/13 For more information, please email LNT@fireflyartscollective.org ---------- 5. Scholarship Tickets Awarded We are pleased to announce that seven tickets have been awarded via Firefly's new Scholarship Ticket program! We appreciate the moving and thoughtful submissions we received this year, and plan to continue it in future years to benefit the Firefly community. This year's Scholarship Ticket recipients are: Charlotte Allen Wynn Andrea Aleida Fernandez Patricia Girard Rowan Hershberger Lane Jackson Madalyn Magrath ---------- 6. Just the Tip by Wendy WTF The Temple at Firefly Objects in the Temple are deliberately placed by you and other participants as memorials, and as symbols of things and qualities that people wish to take into or dismiss from their lives. The Temple burns in silence Sunday evening, releasing our messages, our dreams, our hardships, and more. Please honor the personal stories these objects carry by limiting your interactions with them to looking but not touching, using, or removing them unless invited. ----------
