Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue to present live acoustic/folk/traditional music concerts.; We will continue to book concerts that fit our venues, employ musicians, please our audiences, and at least break even. And we always hope to expand the range of artists booked and kinds of music presented. We monitor attendance via ticket sales and pay attention to our patrons' reactions. Modest audience questionnaires/surveys are planned.; Count the countables: ticket sales, number of events, number of artists booked.
