Posted By QWOC+ Boston on April 30th, 2009
QWOC+ Boston invites you to join us for a trans-and-gayboy-friendly after work’n'school mixer at OM Lounge in Harvard Square!
Come single, coupled, or part of a posse to learn about a number of volunteer opportunities available during Boston pride season and QWOC Week! Invite your friends, coworkers, and new crushes (oo-la-lal) to kick-back for dinner/drinks at OM’s swanky summer lounge and take advantage of this great opportunity to expand your social network by making new connections just in time for spring!
VOLUNTEERING: If you’d like to volunteer as a host/hostess at this event, please email volunteer@qwocboston.org with the following:
- First and Last Name (We need to know who you are, no aliases please)
- Attended any QWOC+ Boston events in the past? (Not required to volunteer)
- Why do you want to volunteer for QWOC+ Boston? (Creative responses are encouraged)
- Volunteer Role Preference (Check the “Volunteer” page for ore details)
We can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to accommodate everyone’s request, or even that we’ll have enough open volunteer positions to fill if you don’t write in this very second! But we’d love to have you and will certainly try our best to utilize your schmoozing/door-registering/email-collecting/purple-wearing talents!
Hope to see you all there!
QWOC WEEK: Call for Organizers and Volunteers
Posted By QWOC+ Boston on March 2nd, 2009
Greetings QWOC+ Boston, and Happy Snow Day!
We’re baaaaack! After a much-needed hiatus (and winter hibernation), we are excited to announce our first organizer planning meeting of the year on Tuesday March 10th @ 7pm.
QWOC WEEK IS APPROACHING
Mark your calendars. August 3rd-9th are the dates.
If you attended QWOC Week last year, no explanation of the multicultural pride festival is needed. But for first-timers, the link above takes you to the section that lists the details of last year’s events.
CALL FOR PLANNERS, ORGANIZERS, AND VOLUNTEERS
We need your help to make QWOC Week a success in 2009! Last year, we planned an ENTIRE week of successful events for our qwoc and ally community. The week was PHENOMENAL, and we need your help to ensure that we repeat this success again in 2009.
No ‘level of experience’ is needed to volunteer! You can help out in a number of ways i.e. planning, flyering, emailing, graphic design, press, facebook, myspace etc. Are you interested in hosting a fundraiser? Curating a film screening? Organizing a talk or discussion? Planning a musical/theatrical performance? The possibilities are endless and we welcome any and all ideas.
Email volunteer at qwocboston dot org by THIS THURSDAY to receive the address details.
The meeting takes place next week Tuesday March 10th @ 7pm in Central Square, Cambridge, and is OPEN TO EVERYONE. Really.
Hope to see many of you next Tuesday!
