 |
Volunteer of the Month - October
Mike Orton was “Johnny on the spot” during the production period for The Consul. Anytime anything at all broke (and, for some reason, a LOT did break during this show), Mike was the one who fixed it.

Volunteer of the Month - September
Gilbert Eldredge is one of those quiet guys who miraculously appear whenever a brainy fellow is needed to tame something electronic or electrical. He has saved Cinnabar on so many occasions...

Volunteer for March 2007

 |
Volunteer for January 2007
Lisa Eldredge has been slavishly moving boxes and reorganizing “fabric, frills and furbelows,” (the name of her 2004 costume installation curated by Petaluma Arts Council. It is an enormous job and, being a slightly warped person, she actually seems to enjoy it! Thank you, Lisa!! |
 |
Volunteer for December 2006
Joe Elwick is at Cinnabar almost every day, working, working, working. He builds sets, hangs lights, hangs curtains, paints…you name it. And probably most important to the staff at Cinnabar: he keeps Production Manager Sharlyn Klein in a good mood! (And, aside from all the hard work, we just plain like him!) |
 |
Volunteer for Novmber 2006
Anthy O'Brien. As a kind of “sergeant at arms” for Taste Of Petaluma leaders Laura Sunday and Trudee Herman, Anthy was everywhere that day, coordinating the volunteers and making sure everyone was where they should be, at the right time and with the necessary materials. |
 |
Volunteer for October 2006
Emily Roeder, along with Jean Stokes and Mary Poe, helped immeasurably in the office by copying music (a miserable job), organizing talent files, stage managing auditions and being generally right on the job whenever needed. Thank you, Emily! |

 |
Volunteer for June 2006
Ethan Burrell took it upon himself to stage a raffle at this year’s Great Petaluma Chili Cookoff, Salsa and Beer Tasting. He made his own sign and went from person to person selling raffle tickets for the chance to win a dinner for two at the fabulous Dempsey’s Restaurant and Brewery. He thought it up, organized it and executed it all on his own and earned an extra $49 for Cinnabar Young Rep. |
 |
Volunteer for May 2006
Jerry Ludwig: Of all the volunteers who helped to make the Chili Cook-off the huge success it was, Jerry had, by far, the most disgusting job... |
 |
Volunteer for April 2006
