This position is very important and valuable to the community.I'm seeking individuals that are responsive, reliable, and dependable. The role involves being able to be on-call for a day and give support where it’s needed! Once applied I can give specifics to the person. The responsibilities will not affect your burn and if anything make it so much more fun!Please reach out if you are interested!Parking@fireflyartscollective.org <Parking@fireflyartscollective.org>lilynoel@fireflyartscollective.org <lilynoel@fireflyartscollective.org>*Please don't email Kirk! *Art Grants wanted to bring attention to something that has come up a few times this year. We have received a few Art Grant submissions that present Moop or other land-stewardship concerns, and then the author says "I talked to the landowner Kirk and he says it's ok!" We would like to put something in the Glowbe to the effect of: don't do this! We have a process and a hierarchy for determining if something is ok to bring to Firefly, and haranguing Kirk personally is *not it*. There are many reasons this is a bad idea, including: - Kirk is not the only relevant landowner- He is not familiar with our insurance and safety situations and policies- He is but one (very kind) man, and is likely to get annoyed by repeated requests from individuals*Desire and Fulfillment: Carpooling, Equipment Needs, Theme Camp Swap, Personals *In each GLOWBE this year we will have a section for ride swaps, equipment swaps, theme camp connections, and personals.If you are looking for a ride, or have one to offer…If you need to find a camp with a generator and want to know if you can host your art there…If you have a stage and want performers…If you're a camp who needs members…If you're looking for a polyamorous vegan-compatible snuggle-bunny who wears too much paisley (as if "too much paisley" could be possible)…We'll be posting OFFERs and NEEDs in each week's GLOWBE. By having this all in one place, it will be easy to scan and find the perfect match.Visit TBD URL to post a listing. Email communications@fireflyartscollective.org <communications@fireflyartscollective.org> to remove one.*Just the Tip, by Wendy WTF *Stop signing up for so many volunteer shifts! It’s ridiculous the way you are hogging them all. Save some for the rest of us. Why should you get to have all the fun?*Links Announce/ Glowbe Archives <https://lists.fireflyartscollective.org/pipermail/announce/> Communicating with Firefly <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/firefly-arts-collective/contact/> The 10 Principles <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/what-is-firefly/10-principles/> Volunteer at Firefly <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/join-a-core/>
