BOOKS | MUSIC | DANCE | OPERA | THEATER | MISCBK-'Curtain Up on the Friends' by Karen Chandler
Curtain Up on the Friends, A History of the Friend of the Kennedy Center Volunteers, offers the reader a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of the world's foremost performing arts volunteer organization. From its inception in 1965 to its leap into the 21st century, the Friends volunteers have provided invaluable service to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - eleven hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year. The Friends imparts to this institution a wonderful spirit of volunteerism and selfless participation that make them a model for the entire country. Written by Karen Chandler, an Associate Professor of Arts Management at the College of Charleston, this book serves not only as a history of the Friends of the Kennedy Center, but also as a valuable resource on the three Rs of volunteer management: recruitment, retention, and recognition. Curtain Up on the Friends is an "embraced history," says Chandler - "one that has involved the very people written about from beginning to end."Item Price: $20.00
