Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The new Banner Signage will provide a safer, more secure method of On-Stage Signage and will also provide a streamlining of setting up and taking down the signage. The signage carries the name of our group "The Singing Slovenes" and what we do, "Minnesota's Ambassadors of Traditional Slovenian Music." The impact of the new, upgraded banner signage would be immediate, providing a safer environment and ease of operation for our performances.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The funding of our banners and signage fulfilled our goals of providing safety, visibility, and awareness of our organization and the streamlining of setting up and tearing down after performances.
