TAM Docents: Evaluations Due...

Hello Docents-

I just wanted to remind you that your peer and self evaluations are due in to me before our June 22 training. So far, I have received 2 self-assessments and one peer assessment. We will be discussing the evaluation process during our June training.  If you plan to stay for the potluck following the training, please let me know. I will ask that you bring entrees or sides and the Ed Dept will provide beverages, dessert and place settings.

 

Required Training

Tuesday, June 22, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Review evaluation process and results. Review Chihuly Walking Tours. There will be a potluck following for all who wish to stay and socialize before we jump into summer. Please RSVP for the potluck by June 15.

 

Thank you,

-Jana

TAM Docents: Fun stuff for study

Hello Docents-

Gwen from the History Museum was so kind as to drop off some materials you may find of interest. We now have a video about the photographers Edward and Asahel Curtis. It’s only 30 minutes long so you can even watch it in the ARC during one of your shifts. In addition to that, she also brought a stack of materials about Chihuly’s Pendleton blanket collection that might be some good background material for the inspiration of his glass art. I will have all of those materials up at the Docent Desk by tomorrow.

 

As long as I have you on the computer…I do have some shifts that need filled. If you can take on any of the shifts below, please let me know.

Saturday, May 15            11 am – 3 pm

Saturday, May 22            11 am – 3 pm

 

Thursday, June 3           11 am – 3 pm
