Sad news.

My family has been volunteering at NEFFA for the past 20yrs.

Last year we decided to go to NOMAD for the 1st time.
We emailed a couple times to sign up for volunteering, but got no response. The person responsible for signing up volunteers had a personal emergency at the time, and was unable to coordinate new volunteers. We signed up at the desk and also paid for a 3yr membership.

Along with our 3 kids (16-25yr old), I convinced our nieces and nephews (6 more 18-24yr old) from various parts of New England to attend on Saturday. The kids all had a good time and were planning on going all weekend next year, and bringing friends (and instruments) with them.

I also found a new vendor who is interested in renting space.
