We are working with multiple organizations to secure enough attending venue volunteers for these events with a special focus on MoMA as this will be the largest NY event (250 capacity) and have already confirmed a handful, including Wikipedians trained at our "Train-the-Trainers < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism_Training_F… events, held over the past few months. But we can’t do this without New York City Wikipedians and we hope you will join us to help work one-on-one with event attendees and offer other in-person Wikipedia support. If you are able to come to the events on March 7th and/or 8th please email me back and RSVP as we are trying to get a count of volunteers before the date. If you know which event you will attend, or could go wherever needed, let us know that in your email as well. We are also looking for people to Tweet about the event, so if social media is an interest of yours, you can include this on the email as well. Thanks again for your continue support. We are super excited about the events gearing up for International Women’s Day weekend. After the event at MoMA, we will also be having a reception with cake and light fare to thank everyone for coming out. Let me know if you have any further questions. Best wishes, Dorothy Howard + Siân Evans + Michael Mandiberg + Richard Knipel
