ACOUSTIC GETAWAY

Dear Boarderlines,

The Getaway Charicouple will be on honeymoon,

and not attending the September board meeting.

Things are rolling, zooming and plodding along at their usual paces.

Flyers, workshops, emails, publicity, phone calls, etc.

Susan Lembo is doing an exceptional job once again

by spreading the word on radio even farther than in the spring.

A couple of things of import:

Thing 1:

Two acts have been added to the roster:

- The Jammin’ Divas, an international four-woman supergroup

that combines traditional songs with harmonies and improv.

Aoufe Clancy of Cherish the Ladies is a member.

- Yankee Caravan - Kleiner, Pagan & board member Sherman

will add hometown flavor, class and great music to the roster.

Thing 2:

We started a Meetup.com group for The Getaway.

We have 116 members in one week.

Surprisingly,

over 100 are new to The Getaway and The Folk Project.

We consider this an extremely success outreach.

We expect to turn Meetup members into Getaway attendees.

Thing 3:

In order to ease Meetup members into becoming Getaway attendees,

we are holding a Pre-Getaway party at the Schafferosa.

It is at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 13th.

23 Meetup members, most new to the Project, have RSVP’ed to this date.

Thing 3.1:

Please come to this party.

We want newbies to experience the look, feel, love and music

of a Project Evening of Music.

We need you to accomplish that.

This is a fresh bunch of newbies.

Please come and help us serve the Kool-Aid.

Thing 3.2

Please go to Meetup.com and join The Acoustic Getaway Meetup.

It will help introduce The Getaway and The Project to a new audience.

Yours in song,

Mark & Robin
