Getaway

The 2016 Spring Getaway was better than excellent. Guests and volunteers continue to evolve with operations running smoother and the sense of community and jamming growing stronger.

First-timer participation and inclusion was particularly effective and happy. The food was ehhhh. The performers were excellent, as were the workshops.

Net operating income for Spring Getaway is approximately $4,500.

The heat was a surprise challenge. Ice was handed out during concerts. A few workshops were moved outdoors. Next spring we’ll be better prepared to move all workshops from the hotter rooms.

Selling out in four days creates a new challenge, more people drop out over the four-month interim, and members don’t expect the wait list to work for them. We went through the entire wait list.

This was an extremely successful event from the guests’ perspective. Thanks to our phenomenal staff.
