***#ARCS Conf 2019 Les Bénévoles Update***
There was a terrific response to the Les Bénévoles call for project
applications. Many sites in the Philadelphia region have requested
volunteers and the planning committee is working hard to accommodate as
many of the projects as possible. Within the next few weeks the sites will
be finalized and conference attendees will be able to sign up for the
projects that they wish to volunteer for. Please plan to arrive in
Philadelphia in time to volunteer on November 6th. It’s a great opportunity
to help the local cultural community while bonding with colleagues. We plan
to feature selected sites in upcoming ARCS updates. Visit our website for
more information.
