Afternoon Activities Coordinator

Afternoon Activities Coordinator
The Afternoon Activities Coordinator is responsible for Arts Conference-specific activities that take place after lunch and before social hour (this does not include things like the softball game or various walks, which are island-specific).

At present, Arts offers Sons of Poseidon (Joe Williams, contact), Persephone’s Daughters (Lynn Wilkinson, contact), conferee slide show, photography/art workshop leader’s slide show (if applicable), Yoga (Joe Williams, contact), Women's Gathering (Christine Burgess, contact), Men's Gathering (Richard Waring, contact) and any other conferee activity that may arise (jewelry with Mary Prendergrass, i.e.). In 2014, Joe Quigley offered a new activity, the Give-Away, in which people share and give away objects of meaning to them. This has been offered in the afternoon.

1. Before the conference, contact any leaders and ask if they would like to run their afternoon activities again. If it is something that may take place only once or twice during the week, note on what days and times island-specific activities are happening.

2. Make sure that electronics are in working order at least 15 minutes before the slide shows begin.

3. Arrange for all participants to arrive 10 minutes early to test their media with the projector for the slide shows.

4. Communicate with the Vaughn Curator regarding the Appledore trip. Place the sign-up sheet on the writing desk and monitor the number of conferees who sign up. See the Island letter for Appledore coordinator for more information specifically related to this task.
