2008-2009 Century Club

Volunteer hours are tracked and added up every season starting with the Volunteer Kickoff  event in August and continuing throughout the year until the final One-Act plays. 

This past 2008-2009 season, Lyric Arts welcomed eight volunteers to the Century Club!  These dedicated individuals volunteered more than 100 hours of their time.  Each volunteer received either a name tag or pin and they were all nominated for our ‘Lyric Arts Volunteer of the Year.’

Bob Ceminsky

Bob has been volunteering at Lyric Arts for many years.  However, this was his first year to volunteer over 100 hours. You will find Bob and his wife, Jan, volunteering during every opening performance. In addition, he jumps in and helps with the Lyric Arts’ annual silent auction and other special events.

Pat Dowdell

This was Pat’s first year volunteering at Lyric Arts and she already managed to put in 100 hours. Pat earned her hours by taking trips outside of the theater to pick up items for Lyric Arts’ annual silent auction, working at auditions, and volunteering in the wine bar serving coffee or wine during every show.
