THE OFFICIAL ARISIA NEWSLETTER 
Friday Edition 18 Jan 2019 
Thank You! 
The staff would like to send
a huge “thank you” to those who helped rescue stuff in storage! What an amazing night of dedicated volunteers sacrificing their time travelling to Somerville and moving so much equipment down 3 flights of stairs. 
Calling All Volunteers! 
Team Arisia needs your help! 
Volunteer for 8 hours and earn an exclusive T-shirt designed by the Artist Guest of Honor. Volunteer for 12 hours and earn your membership for next year! Helping with load out earns you double hours after 3pm Monday. Come to Team Arisia HQ in Hancock on the Mezzanine (above first floor) to volunteer. 
Need help? Reach out to the IRT! 
Arisia has a dedicated team to help with Code of Conduct violations and member behavior issues - the Incident Response Team (or IRT) 
You can reach them in Exeter on the Mezzanine, right above the first floor.
