Volunteers needed GaLLery oF BC Ceramics Summer is make-or-break season for the gallery, and finding knowledgeable staff for this peak period has proven to be a challenge, so I'd like to send out a special request to guild members. If any of you live in or near Vancouver and would like to help out in the gallery for a few hours a week, it would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I'd prefer someone who could commit to a regular one day a week shift on a Monday or Tuesday, for however many hours you can spare. The position would be starting as soon as possible and continuing till the end of September, or possibly beyond. Any help would be invaluable, and contributions sincerely appreciated. Please call Sharon at the gallery at 604.669.3606 if you'd be interested in helping. Thank you!
