The Not Quite Ready for Cable TV Players
Member performances are a continued focus of the program through:
Live in the Lounge
The Vocalotto
Fest Forward Members Choice
The Skit
Getaway continues to attract the largest number of new members to the Folk Project.
The committee also ran two Getaway Pre-Parties at the Schafferosa through Meetup.com
to introduce newcomers to the weekend and to the Project.
Many Getaway and Pre-Party First Timers have become core Folk Project participators
and regularly attend other Project activities.
Logistics continue to improve as guests, volunteers and the committee
become more experienced with the camp and their tasks.
The volunteer pool is large, dedicated, enthusiastic, competent, and extremely talented.
It is the main force behind Getaway’s success.
A special thanks to them and also to the donators who enable many of our members to attend.
The Spring Getaway was blessed with the wedding of Tim & Nancy.
It was logistically complicated, but a wonderful community-building event.
The weekend was extended through Monday to accommodate the wedding.
Getaway attendees have expressed interest in a Monday extension in the future,
and it is being considered.
The 2016 Spring Getaway is mostly booked.
It promises to be our strongest program ever.
The committee also ran the first Summer Songs members show,
which was fun and successful and profitable.
Regards,
Mark
For Mark, Robin, Elizabeth, Pat B & Mike D
