FAI Funding Request

I move that Folk Project subsidize FP members; Pam Robinson and Bob Safranek in the amount of $300 each to attend the Folk Alliance International 2017 Conference in Kansas City, MO.

We plan to attend the 2017 Conference hoping to learn better ways to produce concert events and festivals in small to mid-size venues. We also expect to be see a larger pool of performers than we normally see at NERFA or other East Coast Festivals, which will expand our options for booking Special Concerts and the New Jersey Uke Fest. We plan to attend workshops that will help the Folk Project overall do what it does best, better.

Please note even though Bob and I attended NERFA on behalf of The Folk Project the past 2 years, and will again this year, we have not requested a subsidy since 2014.

The following chart is our projected expenses for attending the Conference.
