The holiday season is upon us and I would like to wish each and everyone a season full of love, togetherness, family, friends and happiness.
Speaking of happiness, December is the official kick off of our Broadway series! Kinky Boots is sure to get the rest of the season “kick”-started. This month is also full of family filled fun from the Nutcracker to the Sound of Music!
We continue to make great headway towards our goals by completing almost 5500 volunteer hours, and accomplishing our second FULLY STAFFED OPERA of the season! Only 8 more to go to make our “Vibrant@10”goals of ten fully staffed operas for the season and 9 more to reach the goal of 10 shows with perfect attendance in either the KCH or ZBOH!
Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Nicole

UPCOMING TRAININGS Volunteer tickets are a
benefit for your service. Box Office assigns the seats as best as possible
within the Volunteer Services budget.
A few reminders:
1. The earlier your request is in, the better.
2. Requests need to be in a minimum seven days
prior to a show.
3. Once tickets have been processed, they can be
transferred to family and friends, however, they
cannot be returned.
4. Tickets cannot be resold.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and
enjoy the show!
Please do not leave open cans of soda or beverages in the refrigerators.
When the refrigerator door closes, it causes the open drink to spill and makes the refrigerators sticky.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Security and Volunteer
Services are teaming up
in an effort to keep the
Arsht family and its
guests as safe as possible.
Moving forward, any
volunteer that is working
on behalf of the Arsht
Center (ushers, adminis-
trative, marketing sup-
port etc. ) must be
dressed in either the
standard usher uniform
or the red volunteer shirt
with black slacks/jeans/
or skirt. This will help
security be able to easily
identify volunteers while
on the premises. Please
pay attention to the extra
event sign up e-mails
and/or confirmations to
ensure that you have the
correct attire for any
given event. Thank you
in advance for your
cooperation. 4

Miami, participated in Give Miami Day. The day was full of music, fun
and games all in efforts to
raise money for our
educational programs. The
Arsht Center raised $45,443
and ended up ranking 6th
out of 600 non-profits
raising money on Give
Miami Day.

Karen helped to make the day run smoothly….and even participated in
some of the days events!!
