Board, FYI file this for future reference: Marge Willliams has been talking to Christine Shupla who wants to offer us a meeting place at the ASC Planetarium in exchange for some ushering work. She is inquiring with both EVAC and SAC. So it is something to put under consideration for the future and followed up on at a later date. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marjory Williams To: Marjory Williams Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 5:27 PM Subject: Help requested from the Planetarium Director at the Science Center Jack, From EVAC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Phoenix Science Center has offered the use of the Planetarium for our General Assembly monthly meetings, with the stipulation that EVAC provide ushers for their programs. While it would be very nice to use such an auditorium, we can not expect that only the Officers and Board members, or even a different select few, will be left to usher ensuring a meeting place for the entire club. The particulars, as described to me, are as follows: We would have to provide an usher for Sat. and Sun. Hours would generally be from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM with a 2 hour break between 11:30 and 1:30. Four shows each day, lasting about 40 minutes. Duties include taking tickets at the door, assisting show presenter before show starts and keeping an eye on the audience during the shows. Assisting folks who might want to leave during the show, etc. Right now, I am thinking of a number... of people that makes this possible. If you think you could commit to one weekend a year, I'd like to hear from you! Christine Shupla End EVAC<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jack, Christine Shupla (spelling?) has four shows a day for 364 days a year at the planetarium and no funding for anyone to do the duties above. She dislikes leaving the audience completely alone especially when someone may need help and or guidance. The speaker may also need slight assistance from time to time. I promised I would take her needs to SAC; would you present it? I don't believe EVAC will take her up on a meeting place but we might in the future if anything happens to the Grand Canyon arrangement. That aside, the question is: are there SAC members who might donate a day or more? Margie
