Publicity Chairman Report – Nancy Kelner

Sent a thank-you email to Radio Station WFUV for announcing Grover Kemble in its Aug 31 morning list of concerts.

Bucks County Folk Song Society’s September newsletter listed the Sept 21 Minstrel and the Fall Festival. Sent thank-you email to the editor.

Suburban News listed Swingin’ Tern and Minstrel several times during September.

The website of Sounding Board Coffeehouse in West Hartford, CT, has a link to the Folk Project website. (www.folknotes.org)

Brought Minstrel flyers, special concert press release and Folk Project cards to BOTMA on 9/16. Don’t know if any were taken.

Sent reminder email to Celtic contacts about Sept 28 Minstrel.

Morrisbeats website used Mark Schaffer’s press release about Fall Festival to write its own article. Here’s the link: http://www.morrisbeats.com/article/Acoustic-music-retreat-sponsored-by-the-Folk-Project-Oct-5-7?a=283

Spent an afternoon in Princeton last month and walked around the campus. Noticed flyers for an open house at the radio station, so we stopped in. Gave a Folk Project card to one of the staff to give to DJ John Weingart, who does a folk music show on Sunday evenings. Our events are often listed on his events list.

Sent radio and newspaper info to Brother Sun’s publicist at her request.

Fall Festival was listed in October events in the Morris County and Union County issues of NJ Family magazine. Sent a thank-you email to our contact there.

Brought some flyers to the Berkeley Heights Library when I went to a concert there in September. The librarian agreed to post them and to receive our flyers in the future.

In my last report, discovered that the Folk Project is listed under Arts & Culture on the Princeton On Line website. Emailed and asked that they add a phone number; they did. (It’s the Minstrel phone number.)
