Hi all,

Thank you again for your interest in helping out with the Stigma Arts Reduction event at the Bowers Museum.  I know some of you were waiting for additional information.  Here is the plan for the 23rd.  If you are able, I would like for all volunteers to arrive to the Bowers at 4PM to help set-up the event.  The event will actually begin at 6PM and end at 9 PM.  The main goal of the event is to display artwork that has been done by consumers of mental health services and by professional artist in hopes of reducing the stigma associated with having a mental illness.  Once the event is set-up, we will all be helping with set-up, the main purpose for all of you being there is to ensure that all in attendance fill out the evaluation form that we developed for the event.  We will have copies of the eval for folks to pick up and the goal is to make sure folks do not leave without filling out the eval.  I think we are going to do some raffle to give incentive to fill it out, but we are still finalizing what that will look like.  I do not expect it to be too much work, but more an opportunity to enjoy the event, connect with multiethnic folks in the community who represent the Arabic, Iranian, Vietnamese, Korean and Latino communities.

Let me know if this will work for you.  I would like to have a final list of volunteers by next Monday, June 13th at the latest.

Thanks and let me know if you have any additional questions.
