PEOPLE

People can connect with events in three ways: by marking themselves as involved, attending, interested. I'm particularly interested in people who are involved in creating events, since those are the artists, administrators, supporters, and other creators who make sure we have such a rich landscape of cultural events.

We have about ~6,000 members, but how many of them have marked themselves as involved in events on our calendar?

  • At least one event? 134
  • Two or more events? 56
  • Five or more events? 24
  • TEN or more events? 7

Those are some busy people. Thank you for being so involved in our community!

I bet there are even more busy people in our group. Are you involved with any events on our calendar? Let us know by marking yourself as involved. How about events that aren't on the calendar? Suggest them here, so we can let everyone know.
