Wanna Volunteer?
Enjoy the Jam Cellar but would also like to get a sense of helping your community out of it? Or perhaps you're strapped for cash and would like to dance without paying? We accept either as part of our Elite Jam Cellar Swat Volunteer Navy Seal Crack Volunteer Team. (Or EJCSVNSCVT for short.) (Yes, we know there are two "volunteers" in there. That's how much we like volunteering.) Email us at huh@thejamcellar.com for more info. Benefits include: Holiday parties for our long-standing volunteers, and we'll also be happy to write references to your future employers saying things like "shows ambition" and "her only flaw is she works too hard sometimes." Oh, and all the Flavor Ice you can eat.
THE JAM CELLAR COMMUNITY BOARD:
Jam Cellar Town Meeting. Usually in the past, we like to touch base with our community and find out what you guys are thinking. However, that tends to cut into some much-loved dance time. So for this meeting, we're going to take it to paper. I'd like to make a call out to all our patrons to write a comment for our comment box the next time you come to Jam Cellar. Want us to do more silly contests? Want us to hire that one favorite DJ of yours more? Want us to offer more polka in our classes? Whatever you'd like to get more (or less of) out of your Jam Cellar experience, we'd like to hear about it. For the New Year we're going to make a few changes to the way we do things, and some of those changes could be your idea. We've had our comment box for roughly a year now, and it's used now more to hold up flavor ice than it is for comments. Though maybe that's just a very abstract way of leaving a comment, and we keep missing it. If so, please explain the flavor-ice comment on a comment card you add into the box along with the flavor ice.
