Volunteers

Rob Drake Head Usher

Rob has led Camarada's concert services team for 5 years. His contagious smile, charming personality, unexcelled professionalism, and humorous approach to life have contributed immensely to making our attendees feel especially welcome.

In addition to ushering, Rob is our 'hands-on' Man for All Occasions, having designed and built many stages for our musicians and dancers.

Alene Stuart Volunteer

Alene has been a dedicated volunteer, supporter and fan of Camarada for many years. Her boundless enthusiasm and energy are a vital component of Camarada's well run concerts, events, and outreach programs.

Alene heads the front line staff at the box office and Will Call, manages Camarada receptions, and is a longtime ensemble contributor. Her music background also makes her a perfect fit to staff our CD department.

And, as a committed environmentalist, Alene ensures that proper recycling takes place after every event!

Shari Pagnotta Volunteer

Shari is our 'goodie' specialist, creating amazingly pretty (and delicious!) sweets and treats for our receptions. She supervises and organizes our member champagne reception before our Sundays at Six concerts, and also serves as a dynamic host for staff and volunteer meetings.

Julie Hegeman Volunteer

Julie assists with hosting, contributing to, and organizing our Gallery series and Sundays at Six receptions.

Her darling daughters Sophie (13) and Maggie (10) have volunteered to welcome attendees, and hand out special treats to the ladies on Valentine 's Day.

Joyce & Dr. Dario Iacuelli Ushers

Joyce and Dario, active supporter of the Arts, split their time between their homes in Southern Europe and San Diego. Both have been ushering for Camarada for many years, and delight our attendees with their multi-lingual skills and professionalism.

Bonnie Johnson Box office and Merchandise Manager

Bonnie, an active volunteer in the Visual as well as Performing Arts, serves as Senior Accountant at NAMM (the International Music Products Association). She brings an important variety of skills to Camarada, focusing on box office, CD and merchandise sales, and accounting support.

Residing in Carlsbad, she doesn't mind taking the Coaster -- her part in reducing Global Warming -- to assist at our concerts in Little Italy, downtown San Diego and La Jolla.
