lazy days of summer

Hello folks:
Looking ahead this summer... two of my scheduled docent days are also days I will be away on holiday, so I'll need a sub if possible. They are July 10 and August 7. I'd be willing to trade for another Saturday or Sunday, such as July 17/18 and August 14/15.

Please let me know if you'd like to swap.

Uninvited Artist Posts Work at 4 Museums

NEW YORK - Paintings of President Bush and former President Clinton,
accompanied by messages referring to the artist's bodily fluids,
mysteriously appeared last week on the walls of two major city museums
and reportedly at two other museums in Philadelphia and Washington.

Harold Holzer, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said
Wednesday that a cartoon-type painting of Bush against a background of
shredded dollar bills was found hanging Saturday on the wall near an
exit in the museum's modern art galleries.

"The Metropolitan is a repository for the greatest works of human
creativity over the last 5,000 years," Holzer said. "It is not a
bulletin board. For us, it is clearly an unwelcome demonstration of
self-aggrandizement."

Re: Substitute for June 22


I have my answer now and am not available. My 12 year old has surgery that
day. Wish I could help you.

Re: Substitute for June 22


Are you talking about the 22nd or the 29th? Would it be in the afternoon?
Let me know and I'll check my calendar.

Tara:
 
     If no one else volunteers, I can take Bev's afternoon shift on 6/22.  However, since I have the afternoon shift the day before, if someone else is available I would prefer that person do it. Thanks, Margaret

Hi Everyone,


I am echoing Bev’s request for a substitute for the afternoon shift on 6/22. We have a group coming through for a private tour that afternoon and neither Anna nor I can meet with them because we will be in a meeting. If anyone is available to take that shift, please let me know.

 

Also, I will be out of the office from tomorrow until Monday. If you need anything you can contact Anna while I’m gone.

 

Thanks

Tara
