Hello docents,
Here is a list of days and tours in July that still require docents.
As we have already told you, The Saint John’s Bible (SJB) exhibition will be busy. As an example, please consider this, the Phoenix Art Museum was expecting 30,000 visitors during its two and a half month SJB exhibition, and they actually saw over 55,000 people visit. They are a larger institution than Tacoma Art Museum but the fact they saw almost double the visitors is significant.
We urgently need Saturday and Sunday docents. Please consider trading a weekday shift for a weekend if you can – I think the weekends will need you more.
We also need Thursday evening docents, although my priority is to schedule docents for Thursday evenings that have tours booked.
Notes:
- All tours are considered “private” unless otherwise specified. However, most groups don’t mind if other visitors join the tour and this definitely will happen. You do not need to shoo anyone away from your tour.
- We are scheduling one docent for each group of 20 or less visitors. In the following list, one docent is needed unless otherwise specified.
- Tours are one hour unless otherwise specified.
- A 12 noon public tour is scheduled and advertised on every day.
Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.
