Subject: RE: Growing a Folk Community from Seed
It's so hard to keep moving forward on this AND do other stuff I am committed to AND do our own music stuff. I posted an internship offer on a mail list we belong to and maybe that will help-- eventually, if not immediately.

Below is what I posted.

==========================================================

ANNOUNCEMENT: INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

We have a summer (or longer) music and marketing internship opportunity
offering free room and board, in exchange for about 15 hours' help each
week, in north central Pennsylvania USA. Most wanted is a male,
guitar-playing vocalist, but we would consider other skills.

POSSIBLE TASKS:
Organizing our materials
Helping with weekly gospel services and other community gigs-- logistics and
performance
Recording the above
Helping with the formation of a county-wide folk music organization
(secular, eclectic)
Publicizing a monthly jam for the above.

We have room for one or, if space is shared, two people. The space
available is large and semi-private.

This is our first time offering this, so details would need to be worked out
with applicants. Buying into our belief system is NOT REQUIRED.

Contact me off-list if interested.

Feel free to forward to interested parties.

If anyone has had relevant experiences in this regard to share, I'd love to
hear from you. If I receive a lot of comments I will edit them together and
send them out to the list.
