summary |
What does it take to run the ACADIA conference? The answer, unsurprisingly, is coffee. Volunteers brewed fifty gallons of it over the course of three days this year in Denver. You will also need a lot of iced green tea, diet coke, and chocolate. The theme this year is caffeine -- leave the instant decaf and herbal teas at Costco, thank you. But before you start the coffee maker, you will need to assemble swag bags. Once the swag arrived, it took hours to fill the bags -- dozens of cardboard boxes emptying as volunteers slowly lost ground to the “sea of red” overtaking every square inch of the storage room. |
