Auditions are this Saturday, where you can meet the group's leadership to learn more about what being a volunteer entails and discuss what you might like to bring to the group. "I just want to help!" is great, but you may have a knack for something in particular. For example...

Our excellent podcast, UNKNOWN WORLDS OF THE MERRIL COLLECTION, is in search of a new host and a new producer. Our zine, SOL RISING, is in search of a new editor and supporting staff. And we always need people who like to promote the Friends & the Merril at our public events.

Today, beginning at 1:30pm! We're very keen to meet you.

Starting in fifteen minutes...
