I know a few of you reached out to me already about helping out; but I wanted to have an official topic with bulleted points so we can get a better idea of where we need some extra hands and what that might look like.
I’ll work on getting a description of what we’re need, what the work load might look like, etc.
Yes, I’m available to help with stuff if needed. PM & DM sent. I also nominated some others in those messages. Not necessarily looking to be “staff” or a mod. just a helping hand here and there. Whatever works.
I’m available for help unless it’s 24/7 job and no time left for plant care and dog and note: europe timezone here, just saying (but i’m a queen of the night anyway…).
Morning crew! It’s AFN day (moreso when the kids leave!)
I’ve updated task with descriptions of what I’m looking for, and in a few minutes I’ll be sending out a mass DM to all of those that raised their hands and we’ll start getting a few things in motion.
Here’s the updated bit if you don’t feel like scrolling up:

@Cultivators-Club and general members; I’d like to put together a “Vendor Relations” team that will help serve as a bridge between our current vendors on-site (helping them use the forum, answering questions or forwarding them up the chain, helping to keep them engaged and logging in here,) as well as duties for reaching out to new potential vendors for the forum.
We’ve used templates in the past that I’ve written that are pretty easy to copy-and-paste, and not opposed to creating some content links as well that explains all the nitty-gritty (so you can focus on being you being excited about what we do and getting them excited to be part of all this!)
I’ve had a few people reach out to me here this week about some potential new heads coming aboard, and I’d love some help with that!
I’d like to see no less than at least 3 or 4 members serving on this committee, and not opposed to extending this out to existing staff that already have duties if they don’t think it will overlap.
I have been and still am down to help however I can. I have time every day, it may move around, but I have time daily to help and get some shit done! Shoot me a DM and let’s hear some more!
My stoned ass gets forgetful.

That’s me boys..
..that’s what makes us..
