Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We expect that members of the community will come hear a local author speak about living in Minnesota. We hope that people who don't always come to programming will be interested in this one.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had a good turn out in the system. Several people made comments about the program being "excellent," "interesting" and "amusing." A few other comments people made were: "Appreciate the funding that brings these programs to our small community," "A really fun time. Enjoyed the presentation, dramatic et al fun tremendous stories," "Good memories recalled," and "Andy Rooney with less whining:-) ."
