I talked to Dan about getting involved-(this is Dan McCartney of Who Hit John?’s wife) by way of writing and/or sharing my experience in the local art community.
I am wondering what type of submissions you still need writers for, and how many articles you wish your writers to produce per month.
Also, are you seeking nonprofit status? I am looking for a volunteer opportunity to meet the requirements of the honors program at KVCC, and if my involvement could qualify. (not a must for me to get involved)
Really nice website- lots of good information. I will try to make it out to the benefit tonight, but if I don’t, have a great time and I hope you make lots of cash.
