BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Florida Tech’s Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts will launch its 2020 docent training program with a mixer for interested participants at 10:30 a.m. Monday, March 30, in the Funk Center’s second-floor mezzanine.

Light refreshments will be served.

“The mixer will be a great chance to chat with some of our current docents and find out why the Ruth Funk Center is a great place to volunteer,” said Donna Sewell, the center’s manager of visitor services.

Those interested in attending the mixer are asked to RSVP Sewell at dsewell2011@fit.edu or by calling 321-674-6129.
