Show Docent Dialogue ( The Utah Museum of Fine Arts University of Utah February 2001 February Training Schedule Focus on our European Collections A Message from the Curator The next few months promise to be the most exciting and challenging for staff and docents. Exciting because we will be learning together and from each other. Challenging because this is a totally new experience for all of us. I face this penod with more equanirmty and serenity than I rrught have were it not for the confidence I have in our docents. With your help I know we can weather this period of transition and begm creating a museum unique to Utah and, maybe even, to the West. STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING February 23th, at 9·00 a.m., will be our next Steering Committee Meeting. We will be meeting in the Conference Room in the Education Offices at the new building. The guard will be given a list of your names. As of now, we are not sure whether the pay lot will be operational, so park as you usually do. For example, m the Bookstore Lot or m the loadmg dock behmd the old Museum building with a pass. You can also park m the reserved lot by Parkmg Services with your year-long pass. Please see Heather if you don't have this yearlong pass or if you need some for the loadmg dock. I hope that I will have more details on parkmg when we meet.
