Call For Volunteers:

First of all, we wish to thank all who worked on Diva Las Vegas 2014 for
producing one of the most successful events in our history!

As you know, Diva Las Vegas runs entirely on volunteer help!

All of those great times you just had were made possible because
somebody stepped forward and made those activities happen!

During DLV, a number of you asked if there was anything you could do to
help out.

Yes, there is, and now is the time to say so! :)

Planning and organization of DLV is done mostly on line via e-mail. It's
interactive and participatory. Volunteers form what we call the DLVORG
group.

The DLVORG group is not at all closed or exclusive. With very rare
exception, it's open to anybody who expresses interest in helping out
with DLV.

DLVORG people participate at the decision-making level, the organizing
and planning level, and at the nuts-and-bolts level.

All of the activities were "adopted" by one or more of our volunteers,
who took the necessary steps to make them happen.

If you want to do your part to make a great thing even better, to give
back what DLV has given to you, and help to run an event that has
literally changed lives, please step forward!

(Those of you who filled out the volunteer form as part of the DLV
follow-up survey do not need to take any more action.)

To volunteer, please do one of the following:

Visit the URL:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlvvol1.html

Fill out the screen and check a few things, click SUBMIT, and
you're on your way!

Alternatively, simply send a brief e-mail message to:

dlvorg@geekbabe.com

. and state you wish to volunteer. (Or, just reply to this mailing
and state that you wish to volunteer.)

Please include a sentence or two stating how you are most interested in
helping out. Anything general or specific ("I wanna plan a sky-diving
party.", or "I'll help any way I can.") is perfectly fine. Anything from
one sentence to a book length manuscript will be ok. :)

We're not asking for any kind of a major time or effort commitment on
your part. All we ask is that each volunteer organize, or assist with
one activity. That's it.

If you're a bit shy, that's fine. We'll find something for you where you
don't have to go cold-calling vendors or anything like that.

And yes, out-of-the-box thinking is encouraged! As you know, we're not
limited to the things that traditionally happen at TG events, and we're
certainly not limited to those which have already happened at DLV.

Thanks in advance to all who have volunteered to help out with DLV!

Please rate our vendors:

Thanks to all who have rated and made comments on our DLV 2014 vendors,
and special thanks to those who took the time to add new vendors to our
list. We've had over 20 new vendors added over the past few days!

One ongoing project of Diva Las Vegas is to keep an accurate list of
TG-friendly merchants, vendors, clubs, hotels, bars, restaurants, etc.
in the Las Vegas area.

This is made up entirely of user-supplied information, such as ratings,
comments, property information, etc.

We call this our "Big List" and it's on line here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/vendors/

The Big List has become our most "hit-on" page! It's very well indexed
by all of the major search engines.

We would like to ask all of you to please visit the Big List and rate
any merchants and vendors you came in contact with during DLV, both
those we used for DLV functions, and those you may have visited on your
own.

Did you have a great time at a bar or club? Please let others know about
it! Did your hotel room suck? If so, please warn others about it!

Do you see something missing? Just follow the link to add a new vendor
or e-mail us and we'll do the busy work for you and get it added.

Survey reminder:

For those who have already taken our survey, thanks, and please remember
that you can add additional verbal comments at any time during the month
of April.

We're asking all who attended Diva Las Vegas 2014 to please take our DLV
2014 follow-up Attendee Survey, which is now on line.

You can take the survey by clicking here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2014survey.html

This survey should take you about 5 minutes or so to complete. It gives
us considerable valuable information for summarizing this year's event
and for planning events to come.

To make it easier for you and to speed things along, if you did not
participate in any particular activity, or if any particular question
does not apply to you, you may leave the corresponding answer blank and
skip to the next.

Please take the survey only once, with one major exception:

If you ever want to add any additional comments in the final text boxes,
please bring up the survey again, go directly to the final free-form
text boxes, and submit another entry without checking any of the buttons
or checkboxes in the main part of the survey. You may do this as many
times as you like.

If you wish to comment further, or you wish to comment in the first
person in your name, please do so in the DLV Discussion Forum on line
at:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/mydlv/mainforum/viewforum.php?f=2

If you wish to comment in private, please send your comments, both
positive and negative, to: dlv@geekbabe.com

This survey will remain on line through the end of April.

Thanks to all for giving us very valuable feedback!
