Newsletter Report

Hi All,

I want to thank everyone for getting the submissions in to Liz on time this month. . I appreciate the hard work, co-operation and teamwork that you have all put forth for the good of our Folk Project. And I especially appreciate Liz for all her hard work and dedication. I know, everyone will continue to expend their energies in an effort to get everything to Liz on time for the March Newsletter, and I thank you all in advance for that. This Month, we had 400 copies of the newsletter printed up. We mailed out 262 newsletters, including ten we sent to Scott for new membership. and the ten we sent to Morris Council of the Arts. That was 29 less than last month, which has been the greatest monthly change since I have been distributing the newsletter. I invite comments from our Membership chair, Scott, as to the reason for such a large change in numbers. I may need to adjust future printings to accommodate the lower number of newsletters I’m sending out if this number continues to hold.

We did well for printing costs this month. With the discounts, we were able to lower the printing costs from $348.00 to $250.76 for a savings of $97.44. The postage costs came to $135.00 for 300 Stamps (postage stamps went up). So our newsletter costs this month were $250.76 from Staples and $135.00 from the Post Office for a total of $385.76 for this month.

I will bring a supply of February Newsletters to the meeting tonight and to the Minstrel this Friday.

All the best

Carl Croce
