aw thank you! that does mean a lot to us -- I'll be happy to share it with my committee :D
and on a tangent, not directed at you, just spiralled off from your remark re. the "inner circle" impression -- I think for some time now (if not right from the start), the org has been truly so big that people entirely fannishly unrelated to each other are working there. That seems to be something many people don't quite grasp.
I didn't know *anyone* when I first volunteered. Just, by working together, you may get closer/make new friends/ so of course new personal connections are formed! I just despair at this common criticism of "you're all BFFs anyway, it's your tight inner circle project!" because, well, maybe we met *within the org*, duh? And that's something anyone's free to do :D
...as for volunteering -- support in spirit is worth so much, already, especially at times like these :3
