NYC DPHH Crew Needed!

Dear NYC/NJ Deafies,

Kevin has resigned as NYC DPHH Host due to other commitments. He will be missed!

As of now, me (Jenny- the crazy chicka who runs around taking photos for this website) is in charge. Some call me General Jen, or you can call me Jenny.

I am seeking 2 new Hosts or Hostesses for the remainder of 2009 NYC DPHH lineup. Responsibilities include;
-To be the "face" of NYC DPHH
-To meet and greet attendees
-To work with the waitstaff/bartenders if any problem arises
-To be aware of the space and if deafies are blocking walk ways or doorways or impending the path for the waitstaff, to ask deafies to please MOVE out of the way.

I am also seeking a Liaison Person to be the coordinator
Responsibilities include;
-Choosing bars and locations for upcoming DPHH
-Contacting these locations to check if they are still in business? can accommodate a lot of deafies? etc., etc.

Lastly, I would like a team of photographers for a total of 3 photographers including myself for NYC DPHHs.
Responsibilities include;
-taking photos at DPHH events
-making notes of the people in the photos (if they are from out of town or the country? or other interesting facts)
-have your own digital camera and can send me edited photos after the events (credits will be giving accordingly to the photos)

The reason why I would like 2 Hosts/Hostesses and 3 photographers is we all have a life outside of DPHH and sometimes conflicts arises and we cannot attend. Its better to have several of us working together to ensure future success of NYC DPHH.

If you are interested in ANY of the positions above, please email me at jep2114@columbia.edu. Include what position you're interested in and why? For photographers, please send me 5 photos samples.

Thank you for your time and I am currently waiting for one bar to get back to me about May's DPHH. Location will be announced this Wednesday April 22nd.
