Dear Members,
We have a special message to share for you from our long time gallery staffing coordinator, Charlotte Seekamp, who is now leaving the position. Her presence on the board will be missed! Thank you for all your hard work over the years, Charlotte!
From Charlotte:
Six years ago the amazing & wonderful Mary Harris passed her Gallery Staffing role over to me. It has been an honor to carry on this job that Mary did so well, but after 6 years I am taking a break. I want to Thank everyone who’s been so generous with their volunteer hours to staff these 2 hour spots which keep the doors open for visitors of the Sanchez Art Center. A really special Thank You to those who would regularly staff 2 spots during a show and those who answered requests when I was desperate to fill a cancellation. AGP members are the Best Volunteers in the world!!! And Thank You for making this an enjoyable six years of volunteering for me.
In 2022 AGP Staffing will use the online scheduler that most of you are familiar with when we needed to schedule drop off/pickup and visiting the galleries. You’ll continue to sign up at receiving with Bonnie Miller, Gallery Staffing Coordinator with a laptop, or via a link after receiving. Please continue to keep the Galleries open with your service of volunteerism.
We would also like to thank Bonnie Millerfor her time as president of the guild the last two years. She has brought a professional talent for team organization, and has helped to streamline our board. And welcome to Linette Morales, our new upcoming president, who, with years of experience helping to run the Sanchez’s day to day operations, always brings a wise perspective to our meetings.
We leave you with an overview of next year’s shows, so you can start dreaming about what to create with these themes.
