Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To showcase German performing and folk arts, to show visitors how many different art forms have German origins, to encourage multi-generational families to attend.We will measure our goals with comment cards and by all the pleased people who respond positively when viewing the Nordic Culture art project. Members of Leif Erikson lodge who have helped in the project will feel a sense of pride as they enjoy what they have been apart off and they will want to bring friends and relatives in to see the work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The murals and rosemaling were very well done with care using the best professional paints and mediums to insure they will last for years and years to come. The unveiling of the project was met with much satisfaction.
