Winter Orientation and Usher Training

**IF YOU ATTENDED TRAINING IN THE FALL, 

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ATTEND IN THE WINTER**

Invitations have just gone out for the 2013 Winter Volunteer Orientation and Usher Training via email.  If you attended these sessions in the Fall, you can disregard this post and the email.

Volunteer Orientation - Friday, January 25 at 5:00pm

This is not a mandatory session, but you are encouraged to attend if you have not yet done so this year.  We will talk about the program, new procedures for time sheets, and the new benefits for volunteers.  The session begins at 5pm and will be over between 6pm and 6:30pm.

Please RSVP for this event by Friday, January 18 by emailing Scott Guinn at sguinn@sarasotaopera.org or calling him at 941-366-8450 ext. 228.

Usher Training - Friday, February 1 at 5:00pm

If you have signed up to be an usher with us for the coming Winter Season, this is a mandatory session for both new and returning ushers.

Schedules for the first five weeks of the season are posted on the Volunteer Blog, with the remaining two weeks to be completed in the next few days.  If you do not attend this training session, your spot will be given away to an usher who has attended training.  We need to make sure that all ushers are up to date on seating and emergency procedures.  Next season, training will not be mandatory for returning ushers.

The session will begin at 5pm and will last approximately two-and-a-half hours.

Please RSVP to this event by Friday, January 25 by emailing Scott Guinn at sguinn@sarasotaopera.org or calling him at 941-366-8450 ext. 228.
