Sadness 😢
Another abysmal failure at attempting to join a volunteer organisation.
Why do they constantly ask for volunteers, but when you turn up, they ignore you or treat you like sh1t? 😤
Surely they could capture your name, email, phone?
Couldn't they take you to someone who is capable of exchanging introductions?
Maybe give you a standard welcome pack of info?

By Gemma Ferguson and Grace Atta
Residents in Katherine are bracing for the possibility of major riverine flooding today, which would mark the second significant weather event to rock the town in a month.

A local venue is having a significant anniversary.
Tonight I went along to the first community meeting to plan an event to celebrate it.
I was interested in helping out. An extra pair of hands to implement the plans of others.
Attendance was lower than I expected.
Summary: Oops! I’ve got involved with something else.

Like #dogs ? Live in #APAC timezones? Have #webdesign chops?
I stumbled on this small volunteer opportunity while looking around for myself; I don't think I really have the design skills for what they want, but I'm sure we can collectively find them someone
They only want someone for a handful of hours per week to spruce up their site & online presence
