Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Volunteer Recognition Day on April 8. The day started out with staff joining volunteers at several California Avenue eateries. After lunch, Jennifer Ishimatsu held a hands-on class that centered around quilting, in honor of the Gee’s Bend Quilt Exhibit, of which the Volunteers in Art were the main sponsor. Following Jen’s class, volunteers gathered in the Theater to listen to Ann Wolfe discuss future museum exhibits. The day’s activities concluded with a reception at the home of VIA Vice President Lynda Buhlig. Volunteers enjoyed appetizers, wine, and the company of other volunteers and had the pleasure of a few words from Nevada Museum of Art Board Chairman Mike Hillerby. It was a fun day, enjoyed by all who participated.
