Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Based on surveys of NSC members, 80% will report that participation in the chorus maintained or improved the quality of their lives. Based on follow-up telephone surveys, 90% of venue coordinators will report being satisfied or very satisfied with the NSC performance. Records will be kept of singer attendance at both performances and rehearsals, and all singers will be polled at the end of the project period as to whether their expectations were met. In addition, a brief survey of members will be conducted as well as follow-up telephone calls of venue coordinators.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Several outcomes were very significant. First the number of people served exceeded our goal: 1440 served which was 240 in excess of the goal of 1200. Another significant outcome was the response that 96% of the Contact Individuals were not just Satisfied with the performances, but were VERY Satisfied. And 96% of them intend to have the Chorus return in the future.
