TAM Volunteers: ARC Program Update

Hello ARC Volunteers-

I wanted to let you know how things are going with the Caldecott program thus far. We have sent out contracts to our speakers and our postcard design got sent out today. Our postcards should be here next week by Third Thursday and Educator Evening! We will be working on the mailing soon and I am sending out a request for help with that mailing but you will be the first to know and, I hope, plan to be there.

Assist with a Mailing on Tuesday, February 24 from 9 am until done. We need to spread the word about the ARC’s upcoming program Picture This: The Evolution of Children’s Book Illustration.

Contact: Jana Wennstrom at 253.272.4258 x3030 or jwennstrom@tacomaartmuseum.org.

 

I also wanted to update you on the financial end of our program. So far, we have used the $1000 allocated from the Education budget on travel for 2 of the speakers. I now know that the postcards are going to run about $1000 plus shipping (local) and the mailing for 2000 of those postcards will run about $300. We still have honorariums and some other items to cover as well. So far, several volunteers have donated $800 collectively. Thank you!!!!! Unfortunately, that still leaves us short for the expenses listed above. If you are able to help, even in the smallest way, with a financial donation toward this program, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. We have a fantastic program planned and I believe we will all be very proud by what will be accomplished- we just have to get there! Feel free to submit any donations to me (made payable to Tacoma Art Museum if you write a check) and I will make sure that it makes it to the appropriate fund to go towards our needs.

 

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

 

Best regards,

-Jana
