TAM: Docent Needed for Family Day: Saturday, January 13 at 11 am

This Saturday is a “family tour” day which means that the 11 am tour has been advertised as a one-hour tour of Eric Carle for families. The docent will end the tour by leading the families up to the Open Art Studio (where there should be a volunteer).

 

Can anyone do the 11 am family tour on Saturday, January 13? There is no docent scheduled on that morning, so you are also welcome to do a morning shift! J Theresa Larson will be in the galleries as a docent in the afternoon, from 1-5 pm.

 

Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.

 

Thanks for your time!

Jerry Wells

Dear Docents and Chihuly Tour Guides,

I am very sad to inform you know that today we learned that Jerry Wells passed away sometime just before Christmas.  As many of you who knew him, Jerry had been a very dedicated museum volunteer since the fall of 2003 specializing in providing Chihuly Walking Tours.  I know that many of us will miss him.  We understand that arrangements are being made for a service and will pass that information along to you as soon as we have it. Of course if any of you have information about a service, please do share that with us.

Sincerely,

Paula McArdle

Director of Education and Public Programs

TAM: 2 Docents Needed for Tour: Thursday, February 1 at 11 am, St. Vincent de Paul Church in Federal Way

Can anyone do a tour on Thursday, February 1 at 11 am?

 

The tour is for a group of 40 or more seniors and adults from St. Vincent de Paul Church in Federal Way.

Pat Walker is scheduled to docent on that day, but I would like to find a second docent for the tour so that it can be split into two smaller groups.

 

Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.

 

Thanks for your time!
