Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To improve the aesthetics of our facility, to improve the functionality of our facility, and to maintain the high operating standards of our organization. Individual shows are evaluated by the board as to audience appeal and satisfaction, and financial success through attendance reports and audience oral feedback. Prairie Wind Players' general membership meets at the Annual Meeting to review the season, elect board member and vote on any required decisions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We received an estimate from Newman Painting and applied for the Operating Grant in January, 2016. In early June we got a revised estimate and by mid-June the painting was done, not just the facade but also the west exterior wall. With money left over we requested permission to apply it to the basement entrance project. The demolition and reconstruction of the entrance took place in September and October. The only thing remaining of this project is the installation of the door on the entrance. The new entrance has a poured concrete basement portion, a completely new above-ground portion and a new set of stairs.
