hello friends in my phone! i think most folks know i (asa, and occasionally psyclops) have been deeply involved in the creation and nurturing of last ditch, a humble volunteer-run lesbian bar/venue/community space in greenfield. this project was something i always fantasized about and watching it become a reality has been life altering. iโm an all or nothing kind of guy, so iโve put 110% of my time, energy, and resources into this place. and i wouldnโt change a thing! but itโs time to move on and create room for new projects/adventures/passions.
thatโs where you come in! over the last year iโve tackled the booking of talent, promotion/marketing, event development, and general community outreach for last ditch. and while we have a growing team of volunteers, my departure will leave a void in the event/marketing department. so we are looking to our community to help fill this void! if you are passionate about event production/coordination, artistic collaboration, and outreach: this role is for you. if you wanna throw killer parties or skill-building workshops: this role is for you. last ditch will continue to grow with the help of thoughtful, innovative community members so donโt be afraid to throw your hat in the ring!
please note that this role is volunteer based! there is the potential to join as an owner of last ditch for those interested in providing consistent cooperative leadership, culture building, and decision making. last ditch is an anti-profit operation prioritizing reinvesting its earnings back into the space in order to grow and keep our doors open for years to come!
