Membership

Folk Project board members,

As of 10/5/21, we have 228 memberships consisting of 350 people, a decrease of 30 memberships and a decrease of 41 people compared to July 2021 (last report submitted).

Even though the total number of memberships and people has declined dramatically since the start of the pandemic, there has been increased activity from the reopening of the Troubadour, the picnic, the music in the park, and Streaming Tuesdays. On the other hand, membership renewal letters have not been sent out since June 2021 (due to family health issues). Membership renewal letters will be sent out this weekend to all members who memberships have expired since June and members whose membership expires in October or November. Going forward, these letters will be send on a monthly basis.

Online membership database:

It has been determined that JoinIt is not a viable product for The Folk Project. Eitan found another potential candidate which Karyn is currently testing. The free trial for that product ends on November 1.

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

Respectfully submitted,

Gary Pratt

Membership chair
