TAM ARC: Changes, Updates, and Shift Needs

Hello ARC Volunteers-

I hope that the holidays have been kind to you all and that you are feeling well-rested.

 

I have a special New Year surprise for you: NEW SHELF-READING ASSIGNMENTS! I have attached a copy of the new layout and will put a copy in each of your files with your assigned shelves highlighted. If it has been a while and you haven't been checking your previous shelves (I know this is true of some of you!) feel free to review the instructions on shelf-reading in the manual or on the cork board in the back office. I am also happy to go over it with you too if you need a bit more help. A couple of you didn't have shelves assigned before but you have now been added. Please make an effort to review this info and keep your shelves in good order.

 

I also still have some January shifts that need to be filled:

Friday, January 6                    10 am – 1:30 pm

Saturday, January 7               1:30 – 5 pm

Thursday, January 12 1:30 – 5 pm

Saturday, January 14             1:30 – 5 pm

Friday, January 20                  10 am – 1:30 pm

Saturday, January 21             1:30 – 5 pm

Thursday, January 26 1:30 – 5 pm

Friday, January 27                  10 am – 1:30 pm  AND 1:30 – 5 pm

Saturday, January 28             1:30 – 5 pm

 

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

TAM ARC Volunteers: ARC Projects

Hello ARC Volunteers-

Below is our list of projects along with the volunteers that I think are working on them. I need you to correct me if you see your name in an incorrect area or if you have been doing the activity and you don't see your name listed. For the rest of you…if you see a highlighted project that you would like to help with, let me know. We have some projects going by the wayside that could use your support.

Thank you,

-Jana
