TAM Volunteers: ARC Meeting Date

Hello ARC Volunteers-

I have scheduled an ARC meeting time for January. I was unable to locate an evening time but I did find a weekend day that I hope will work for most of you. The meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 10 at 10 am and then I was hoping you would still be interested in a potluck that we could have down in the break room or in the Skinner Board Room on Admin afterwards. I will have a volunteer orientation that same day at 1 pm but you could all stay and visit for as long as you like (though the museum closes at 5 pm).

 

Please RSVP if you will be attending and want to participate in a potluck.

 

Agenda (so far)

I am hoping to cover on-line research methods, including Boolean searches

Caldecott program update – tasks and fundraising

Artist File content – what to cut, copy and save

 

If there is something in particular that you feel we should cover at this meeting, please send me your ideas. I will be adding to the agenda as things come up.

 

Thank you,

-Jana

TAM Docents: Welcome to your new Docent Space!

Hello ARC Volunteers-

I sent the email below out to docents this evening and I wanted you to be aware of the change as well. We will be welcoming the docents more into our ARC space. I hope that this change will make sense for both groups (and it will allow us to increase our attendance in a very regular way!). As with the docents, I would appreciate being informed if you have any questions or concerns regarding this arrangement.

Thank you!

-Jana

Hello Docents-

We have found a more permanent solution in regards to your docent desk space as we want you to have room to work and access to what you need. We have made some space in the ARC office for the docent materials and you will have access to the space for writing your notes. After some consideration and discussion, we felt it made perfect sense to combine your needs with the space of the ARC. After working with both groups, I have also come to realize that some of the materials we have had available at both locations is a bit redundant so I am hoping to combine the resources where it makes sense to allow for other opportunities within the docent program. If an ARC volunteer is not available during your shift, the key will be available through Security or you can ask for a key at the front desk. For the safety of the ARC’s materials, we ask that you lock up if a volunteer is not there when you leave. I hope that you will still feel welcome to spend time on the Admin level even with this move as you are more than welcome – this move in no way suggests otherwise. There is also a desk at the corner as you turn to go to the break room on the Admin level that is still set up to accommodate volunteer usage should you so desire. My hope is that with regular visits to the ARC, you will find ever more resources to enhance your time here as docents. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this arrangement.

Thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum!

-Jana

 

P.S. I should have your new training schedule ready to send out tomorrow.
