TAM Volunteers: Scheduling Process Change

Hello ARC Volunteers-

My call to ARC volunteers for someone willing to do the scheduling has paid off. ARC volunteer, Jurren Bouman, has risen to the challenge so you will be hearing from him regarding shift availabilities starting later this month. Meanwhile, Jurren has written an introduction included below. We hope to make this transition as smooth as possible but please let me know if you have any concerns or questions and I will look at addressing those as we move forward.

Thank you all for the work you do to keep the ARC vital and engaging for our visitors. It could not be done without your commitment and willingness to work so well independently.

Best regards,

-Jana

Hello ARC Volunteers,

 

As you all know by now, Jana has increased her job's responsibilities and, when she asked for a volunteer to do the monthly ARC scheduling, I thought that this would be something for me. Because I have not been here that long, I don’t think that everyone knows me, so let me introduce myself. My name is Jurren Bouman and, as you probably suspect, it’s not a real English name. I am Dutch and so from The Netherlands. I emigrated from Holland to the USA on February 14th, 2009. For almost 2 years I have been married to Kim, who is from this area.

 

In April I started volunteering for the Tacoma Art Museum and I really like to work in the ARC. Doing the scheduling would be a nice opportunity to get into contact with everyone. Speaking about the scheduling, as you know, the museum is closing after September 1st on Tuesdays and on Sundays, starting in September, it will be open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. This means 2 fewer shifts during the weekdays, but one more during the weekend. If anyone wants to take on an extra shift on Sundays, please let me know. I will be sending out the September scheduling needs about mid-August but you can contact me any time to arrange for shifts or make changes. If you have any questions about scheduling you can always send an email to my private email address, which is: jurren@gmail.com.

For urgent matters you can also call me at: (253) 327-4549. You can also still send an email to Jana and she’ll forward them to me.

 

Groeten.... Jurren
