[Organizers] Little follow up idea re Shop Talk -- plugging organizing with your dancers

[Emily Addison]

Hey fellow organizers,

I know some of us struggle with getting more organizers on our team. (We're
currently looking for more folks to help with outreach/promotion here in
Ottawa!)

Just wanted to share a quick strategy relating to the CDSS Shop Talk that I
sent out a few minutes ago.

I've posted info about Shop Talk as well as this list, the CDSS organizers
resource portal and the FB group for organizers on our local dance
community facebook group.  I thought that a quick 'we can always use more
help' and 'check out these cool resources' might set the seed in some
dancers' minds.. ... ... even just making them aware of the broader
conversations is worth it.

I don't know how much merit there is in this idea but I just wanted to
share in case you liked it.  I've included my post info below. (I made an
initial post and then followed up with a few comments underneath.)

A plug for those of you who might be interested in helping organize our
dances... ... ... we can always use more help!
A neat way to catch the bug is by watching (and even participating) in some
conversations that happen around organizing. As part of this, you might
might want to sign up for Shop Talk - it's CDSS's free quarterly e-blast
for organizers.
