<div>Hey everyone - </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just wanted to introduce myself since i have been unable to make it to the two volunteer meetings, yet i am still interested in working on making the Flying Brick an awesome resource in Richmond. My name is Nicole, I am one of the Richmond Zine Fest organizers and i run Click Clack Distro. I write a personal zine called Introvert and I've been involved with zines since about 1996. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I work a 9 to 5 Mon - Fri job and i live in Chesterfield so i do have limited time in which i can come to meetings & work at the library, but that does not skew my passion for zines or wanting a zine library to thrive in Richmond. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have seen from the minutes posted that one of the goals for the space is to be inclusive... which makes me really excited. At times i think some people have the notion that zines are just for younger radical folks who dress weird and have funny hair. :) Zines are for everyone. Old and Young, Radical and not, etc etc and i think it'd be awesome to have a space where people wouldn't feel excluded if they came to read zines in khakis and a polo shirt vs. dreads and an old band shirt. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please keep me in the loop and let me know if there is anything i can do. I have a really large internet mouth and super international zine scene connections and i can definitely get the word out on getting donations and such. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If we do flyers for donations, please throw some my way for all my distro packages! </div>
