Very friendly. All materials were ready. Organized and upbeat despite setbacks in weather conditions.

The whole event was fun. I sat at registration and I helped people sign up/sign in. My role was explained to me and while I was a little intimidated by it all at first, I quickly found it to be way less overwhelming than I thought. Incredible experience, really. The people I worked with were all very pleasant too.
