Subject: Folk Project Membership as of 8/4/20

Folk Project board members,

As of 8/4/20, we have 287 memberships consisting of 420 people, a decrease of 11 memberships and a decrease of 20 people compared to May 2020.

With the Covid-19 situation, new and renewed membership activity continues to be diminished. Some of this may be affected by job loss, financial hardship or family illness.

Contributing factors for this month's activity:

• Membership Renewal Letters are back on a regular monthly schedule, being sent to members whose memberships lapsed last month or will lapse this month or next month.

• No new or renewed memberships from Troubadour or other venues.

• Membership links are now included in all Acoustic Stayaway Concert emails and concert chats. There has resulted in a small, but steady increase in new memberships.

Rosters in PDF and Excel formats are attached to this message. Please note: rosters include active members and lapsed members within last year.

Respectfully submitted,

Gary Pratt

Membership chair

The Folk Project
