March Volunteer Spotlight

This month’s volunteer spotlight features one of our long-time volunteers, Rosa Velasquez! You can see her smiling face at any of our big events, including Musikfest, Oktoberfest and Christkindlmarkt! In addition to those events, she’s also a regular at the Levitt Pavilion and our yearly Three Kings Festival. Rosa is also part of our ArtsQuest Ambassador program. Within the last few months, she has gone over 1000 total hours of volunteering here at ArtsQuest! On behalf of the entire Volunteer Department Staff, I would like to congratulate and thank Rosa for all her contributions! 

Q: How did you get started Volunteering with us here at ArtsQuest? 
A: I started volunteering at ArtsQuest in 2010. The reason I started was because I was looking to help my younger son complete community hours for high school. The summer of 2010 is when we volunteered together at Musikfest. Later that same year, I volunteered for Oktoberfest, as well as Christkindlmarkt, where my three children also joined. Since then, I’ve continued volunteering because I enjoy it so much.  

Q: What is your favorite hobby or recreational activity? 
A: As a recreational activity I love to walk my dog Mia every day.  

Q: What was your favorite musician or show you’ve seen while volunteering here?
A: My favorite band to see was El Gran Combo.
