Westercon 55: Conagerie
Volunteers
|
"That's some strange Circus you're running here!" Us? Running? Hardly! We, the membership of Conagerie: Westercon 55, are all volunteers running our convention together.
From the unloading of the railcars, the driving in of stakes and the raising of the center poles up over the many different rings of fandom under The Big Top, to following round behind the elephants in parade with a cart and shovel*, well maybe not that, but all sorts of tasks, both small and large are performed by the community that makes up the convention we share this weekend. Take the extra step of participating as fully in the creation of Conagerie, by volunteering, at our table conveniently located South of the elevators as you exit them on the 2nd floor. Volunteering is at the very core of Fandom. From its inception in the 30's we have been a community that gathers itself together and creates its own temporary worlds for our pleasure. Then afterwards, we carefully disassemble them and save the pieces for our next convention together. Whether you filk, costume, write, watch anime, make models, game or draw pictures to amuse your friends, there's a place where you can help out waiting for you. Even if this is your first convention, there's still plenty of opportunity to help out. Take part in all aspects of Fandom from the beginning of your membership in this wonderous culture. Be willing to give yourself the full experience of membership at Westercon 55. Take the chance on yourself and join those who know: volunteer. * There are a couple of things the hotel staff handle for us. by clicking on the bear:
