We are still looking for people to help out with the symposium! This event takes many hands, and we really need your support. We're looking for someone with an OLCC license who can help bartend at our Saturday night event (from 7pm to 11pm), folks to help out with staffing the info table, and people to help set up and break down workshops throughout the weekend.
