Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the events pass program is to allow patrons the opportunity to experience a variety of events at different venues through out the Arrowhead Region. Patrons experience the talents of many local artists. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 53% said they were not sure they would be able to attend these events without the free tickets. 35% said they would not be able to attend the event and 12% said they would be able to attend the event. Comments: "I loved the opera presentation." "We have some very talented musicians in the area." "I thoroughly enjoyed the opera."

Source of Additional Funds

16 libraries provided free tickets to patrons and provided additional promotion for the programs and approximately 15 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers. NLMF provided tickets at a discounted price to ALS.
