Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will draw at least 200 people to the event. Audience surveys will show that at least 50% of the attendees report an increased connection to poetry because of the event. The Project Coordinator will count participants. We will have paper and markers on a table at the end of the pie line where people can write comments and put a check next to a few simple statements in lieu of a survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative: 175 people attended Poetry and Pie. Qualitative: We put out a large stretch of paper on the table where the drinks were served and asked people to write what this event means to them. Instead of writing, we had many drawings, not just by children, but adults too. There were images of trees, pies, people gathered. It was a stunning visual response that we are interpreting as positive
