Other Details:

We will meet inside the Collins Memorial Library at UPS by 10:00 am. Ideally, we could meet here at 9:30 am, if you are willing to carpool, we could go in groups. Otherwise, plan to meet there. If you are willing to be a driver, please let me know.

 

Parking - There is plenty of parking on the street and a lot off Union avenue.  There is no need for a parking pass in the summer.  I would not advise parking in the Library parking lot due to construction.  Here is the link to their web site for more details and maps:

Let me know if you have any questions. This should be lots of fun!

Thank you,

TAM ARC Volunteers: Where's the sweeper? and other information

Hello ARC Volunteers-

It came to my attention today that the floor sweeper that is typically kept in the ARC has gone missing. A volunteer bought it specifically for that space with her own money so, if you know of it’s whereabouts or anything that could lead me to learning more about said whereabouts, please contact me.

 

I also noticed that some kind soul has brought in a cleaning fluid and put it in the back cupboard. Because of OSHA regulations, we cannot have random cleaning supplies brought in to the museum spaces. All cleaning supplies are required to have an MSDS sheet associated with them. That is a Materials Safety Data Sheet that tells us what to do if the product is inhaled, swallowed, gets in someone’s eyes, or is misused in some other way that may cause physical harm. As we would not have that for supplies we have not provided, that kind act of bringing something in could actually be a liability. If you need any sort of cleaning supply for that space, please let me know and I will contact housekeeping.

 

Finally, thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum! The space looks great and I really appreciate all of the skills and dedication you bring to the ARC.
