So why Vicissitudes of a Volunteer Coordinator as a title? Because I am changeable, because each year Westfest is ultimately driven by the changeable weather, and because every year at Westfest is another and completely different adventure than the year before. If you embrace change, embrace new people, slow times and crazy chaotic quick times, come join us. You will fit right in!
