The auction was so much work, and I loved every minute of it. I love the people who work at BICAS. They are down to earth, generous, dedicated, friendly, respectful, and treat everyone as equals. I wrote several times in my field notes, “Wow, these are the type of people I want to be around.” It was neat how they treated volunteers as though they were part of the BICAS family. I volunteered to decorate the outside of the space with Christmas lights with Alicia. They showed us where the lights were and let us go to work. I loved how they trusted us to figure things out and let us do it how we wanted. Not being micromanaged made me feel like I was actually helping and part of the team. Members from BICAS that I had not met introduced themselves and sincerely thanked me for helping.
The auction itself was so busy, and it was a great opportunity to meet people from the community and work with the people in BICAS. I want to volunteer to work the auction every year. What a wonderful experience!
