Notes from the Crew – September
I’m full of contradictions. For example, I’m very introverted, but I love meeting new people and socializing. So when I was presented with the opportunity to join the volunteer coordination team (a.k.a. THE MASS), I was simultaneously super excited and apprehensive. You want me as the first point of contact for new folks who want to join the Hassle? An org I don’t even know much about? Alright, let’s see how it goes.
Since accepting that role, I’ve met some amazing folks within and outside of the org. The core is a group of hard-working, passionate human beans and I love seeing new folks light up when they realize how cool the org really is. Talking about the Hassle is one of my favorite things to do now!
Of course, coordinating people has its challenges. That’s why I’ve been helping create an organizational structure for the Hassle so it can be the best org it can be. All the work I do within BH is challenging but so rewarding because I’m surrounded by people who care about the arts as much as I do…at least until I get tired and have to take some time alone to “recharge” (introverts, am I right?).
So if you’re interested in volunteering with us, catch us at the next hang on the Esplanade on September 5th from 6 to 9! I’ll be there of course to answer your questions and get you in the loop. If you can’t make it, no worries! Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we can chat. Peace!
