As the magic of Cirkopolis begins to subside, the excitement of the
anticipated AileyCamp Final Performance is starting to build! On
August 6th, children participating in the 6 week program will be
displaying all of their hard work for the community to see!
If you still need a few hours, sign up for the event; if you would like
to support what the Arsht Center is doing, try to attend the event.
It is definitely a must see experience that will not leave a dry eye in
the building!
Although August is a slow month for shows, for those of you who
are still trying to earn some hours, there are a lot of extra events
including the campus fire drill to help accumulate those last few
hours that you may need to attend the volunteer dinner.
Enjoy your vacations! If you travel, send me pictures! I would love
to share with the team. Again, thank you all for everything that you
do!
Sincerely,
Nicole

UPCOMING TRAININGS
Seasoned Usher Trainings:
Several advanced usher trainings will be conducted over the summer. They are in depth 4.5 hour classes conducted by the house managers that covers not only seating, but safety measures, customer service and much more. Once any volunteer completes this training, they will be eligible to receive scheduling earlier for the 2016-2017 season. Everyone is eligible for this training, however, due to limited space, priority will be given to ushers who are seeking to become an advanced/seasoned usher. Please see the dates and times below.
Monday August 8, 2016 6p—10p
Wednesday September 7, 2015 6p—10p
In order to reserve your spot, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with
“Seasoned Usher Training” in the subject line.
Emergency Evacuation Drills: August 20th 10a—2p
Campus wide fire and emergency evacuation drills will be conducted on
August 20th from 10AM – 2PM. Lunch will be provided and you will receive
4 hours for your time. We need as many volunteers as possible to be
AUDIENCE MEMBERS to help the drill be realistic in nature. Please come
in casual clothing, there is no dress code for this event. Family members,
including children, are welcome to attend.
Please email [email protected] to sign up.
Please also include how many people will be accompanying you.
ArtsLaunch 2016 Tour Guide: August 30, 2016 2p—3:30p
Due to the anticipated volume of guests who will be taking the tour during Art-
sLaunch, we are trying to beef up our team. The tours on that day will be much
shorter in nature. We will be just covering a lot of basics to move the crowds
through. We will need as many hands as we can get for this! If you are interested
in giving an abridged tour, or assisting a docent (tour guide) during an Artslaunch
tour, please email
[email protected] to rsvp your spot
with Artslaunch Tour Training in the subject.

2016-2017 VOLUNTEER ADVISORY TEAM
Nominations are now open for the 2016-2017 Volunteer Advisory Team.
The Volunteer Advisory Team is composed of a group of volunteers who
offer suggestions and ideas to the Volunteer Services Manager (VSM). The
VSM then uses that information to make decisions that will positively impact
the Volunteer Team which in turn helps the Arsht Center achieve its
mission. If you are interested in joining the team, or feel that a particular
fellow volunteer would be great for the team, please send your nomination to
[email protected] by August 29. The new advisory team will be
announced at the annual recognition dinner in October.
