Volunteering with Special Needs
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to meet Scott, who works in the Kitchen. I was surprised to notice a volunteer on crutches, so I asked him to say a few words about his volunteer experience.
Listen to Scott:
Scott later decided that he did not want his podcast included on the website, so I have deleted it.
I am still working on coordinating the photos with the posts. A photo of Scott taken by my associate, Dean Buscher, who has a Nikon D3 and all the fast lenses he needs should be available soon.
I am particularly interested in the topic of volunteers who bravely continue to contribute to their community because I am dedicating all of my volunteer time doing sound recording at the festival to my friend, Sylvi MacCormac. Although confined to a scooter, she has been inspirational to all audio recording artists. She has worked quietly for years creating a soundscape record of the festival that is posted on their site; VFMF Soundscapes 1999-2002: Festival Quartet for Solitude

Sylvie is a woman I really admire because she has devoted her life to her music and art. Despite all of the obstacles she has faced, I always see her smiling and excited about a project she is involved in. She certainly contributed to my experience of the Folk Festival through her work and I hope to enhance other people’s participation through mine.
See you at the Folk Fest!
