 | I'm posting this message from the NOMAD Committee, at their request.
NOMAD is the annual festival of music and dance taking place Oct-Nov in
New Haven, CT. They urgently need volunteers to keep the festival
going. I hope some citizens of this NG can help. Regards, RL
....
Is NOMAD History? Was this past NOMAD the final festival?
It is, and it was, unless YOU help!
NOMAD (http://www.nomadfest.org/) is an all-volunteer festival, from the
organizers to the performers.
The 2004 NOMAD festival was great, especially in our new location. We
recognize and appreciate all the volunteers who have helped make NOMAD
happen in the past; we're grateful for that support. But it was not
enough. More people need to be involved throughout the year, or there
will be no festival in 2005.
It takes an entire year to plan this festival; we start working on the
next NOMAD as soon as the last festival is over. The current committee
members have been doubling and tripling up on jobs; there are simply not
enough people left to put this festival on any longer. We need new
committee members.
We're not kidding. IF WE CANNOT FILL ALL OPEN POSITIONS--AND GET
BACKUPS--BY FEBRUARY 14, NOMAD 2005 WILL NOT HAPPEN.
What do we need from you?
- To commit your time and energy for one full season.
- To fill the following jobs:
- Festival Booklet Layout & Editing
- Ad Sales
- Hospitality
- Publicity
- Membership
- Performers
- Merchandise Sales
- Program
- Festival Registration
- Parking
- Volunteer Recruitment
- Volunteer Scheduling
- Sound Technicians
- Set-up/Take-down
If you can help, please reply by email to bd-gold @ comcast .net (If
you do not have email, please call Henry Farkas at 203-468-7912.)
Please list the positions you are interested in, by order of preference.
Your response - now - is literally the only thing that can save NOMAD
2005. Please consider this carefully and thoughtfully and, if you can
help, please respond now. Don't wait.
Thank you, from the NOMAD 2005 Organizing Committee and from all future
festival attendees - Henry Farkas, chair
