Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 100 community members will attend each of the 8 nights and at least 10 new people to the Music in the Park Series will attend each week. As part of our grant goals, we will increase in the number of young families attending by 50%. The committee will do a weekly survey of our performers and audience members which will ask sex, age, nationality, any disability, and what they learned from today's performance. We will be able to use this data to better meet the need of our undeserved population in the future. We will also keep accurate count of the number of people in the audience and see if we are increasing our attendance each night as we hope.

Measurable Outcome(s)

From the surveys we gave out each night we were able to identify an average of four NEW young families in attendance for the first time each week. Tis worked out to at least 32 new young families throughout the summer. This summer we had an average of 163 people attend each week which is an increase of thirteen people per week. For a community our size, that is HUGE.
