E-COMMUNICATIONS

E-Communications are rolling along. We have 3508

active contacts, down from 3516 last month. That means that

more people unsubscribed than signed up. I believe this is the

first time we've had negative growth since we first started

using Constant Contact. To get things moving in the right

direction again please remind the MCs at all events to

encourage people to sign up for our mailing list. If they get a

reminder from the stage it's more likely that they'll sign up.

Also -- I believe that first-timers at the Minstrel are entitled

to a free pass for a future show *only* if they sign up for the

Minstrel-Gram. If that is our policy, it's possible that it's

not being followed, as the sign-up sheets from the Minstrel

have seen very few people signing up recently. Please remind

people working the desk that they should encourage first-timers

to sign up, and if they must do so to get their free pass, that

policy should be enforced. Yours in folk, Lori
