[Noisebridge-discuss] request for feedback: radical counseling event Monday

[Lucy (diN0bot) Mendel]

BTW, anyone is welcome to join us. We're an open group of counselors and
people looking for counseling. There will likely be two sessions of
one-on-one talk therapy between an individual and an Interchange-trained
counselor. I'm not a counselor; just trying to help a newly-forming
community group get off the ground.

>> Hi Lucy,
>>
>> Monday nights there are always lots of people at noisebridge, and all you
>> have to do is come in and find a member to sponsor you and your group. That
>> member person will be available to you or anyone in your group if you need
>> a a connection to the noisebridge community or other members.
>>
>> If you want to be involved regularly at noisebridge you should fill out a
>> membership application form and get a couple of members to sign for you,
>> saying that they endorse you being part of noisebridge.  After you get two
>> signatures you can be at noisebridge without anyone sponsoring you.
>>
>> If you get four signatures, you automatically become an associate member
>> and you can sponsor other people to be in the space!  That means you can
>> come in and have a radical counseling group with people who are not part of
>> the space, by being their sponsor in the space.  You would be their bridge
>> to the noisebridge community and vice-versa.
