Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase attendance of senior citizens and handicapped individuals by promoting concerts specifically in housing facilities for these populations. In response to audience and band member requests, increase performances from five to six concerts. Increase concert attendance by adding food and activities to make Thursday nights in Chatfield City Park a destination for area residents and tourists.We receive feedback directly from audience members. Data collection includes counting attendance, monetary donations, and amount of participation the event by community groups. We also view and evaluate our concerns on video as they are available on the web and the local cable channel.

Measurable Outcome(s)

To increase attendance we sent mailings to area senior centers and care facilities. We observed that the largest percentage of our audience is now senior citizens. They come to eat and listen.
