Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Available upon request. grants@mnhs.org

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most obvious means of measurement was to be the volume of sales at the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra's summer season. Because of COVID19 the season had to be cancelled it is impossible to gauge the level of interest in the book by this means. Efforts to promote the book as a means of soliciting contributions will be intensified throughout the year.
