Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

During our 40th year of programming we will recall along with all of our audience, but expecially inter-generational groups, what our programming has meant and can continue to mean in our personal lives and in the historic life of our community. Our evaluation will focus on gathering information through interviews and written recollections from our audience regarding the role of our programs over the past 40 years, especially of an inter-generational nature and regarding the significance of our collaboration with artists, other organizations and community through the multiple contacts we have provided from the artistic world during the past forty years

Measurable Outcome(s)

Data shows our event is an important part of our communiy's public life and people are willing to step up to assure it continues to provide positive social interaction, a strong program of art and artists within a positive social atmosphere.
