Festival Report

Hi All,

I regret I am unable to attend the board meeting this evening due to a rehearsal with Mara Levene, for songs with which I will be accompanying her at the Minstrel on Friday.

We are proceeding well on our way to a successful Festival this fall. Our flyer was in the July Newsletter and is in the August newsletter. Our volunteer schedule is underway to be developed this week. We have printed up special Open Mike brochures, which have been and continue to distribute at as many Open Mike locations as I can visit between now and September; and there are many. As I reported last month,the special appeal to the Open Mike participants which we are promoting for the first time this festival is aimed to increase the Saturday and Sunday commute revenue which is most profitable to our festival as well as full weekend registrations. We are getting promotional psa’s on WFDU from Carol Beaugard and many of the other DJ’s every day. There have been a few glitches, however we are working to iron them out as they come up.

See you all soon,

Carl Croce
