Other Thoughts on the Library Venue

Consider NOT using tabels and just use black chairs

Reception before and after

If using tables, use the brown chairs

Use black chairs for performers in the middle and back room patrons

Consider ambiant lighting with the Birch Trees

Bring equipment for Live Feed

Hire Jimmy!

200+ guests

Man the RC doors/cash box for entire show

20+ folk arrived up to 45 minutes into the concert

Food ratio 16/17

Drink ratio 5/17

Thoughts on the Inn Venue from Kim

• I’m not sure if this was happening, but a body to help guide parking as we hit the busy 6:15-6:30 time frame is a good thing.

• Directing people to last-minute seats would be helpful (this could be done with another parent volunteer) – I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the cash box to help out here

• The door person may want to advise people to help themselves to the food when they arrive.  I think some people didn’t know when it was OK to eat.  My bad.

• Perhaps adding 10-15 more chairs to the count.

• A couple people asked for coffee.  I think the only way this could happen would be with the premade coffee boxes available at Dunkin, Starbucks and possibly Maplefields.  It looks to be about $40-50, so not sure if it’s worth cutting into the earnings.  I’m happy donating either the cheese/crackers/grapes or the coffee and could even ask if we can get the coffee donated by one of the stores if you think providing coffee would be a good idea.

• Comments on the lighting – the microphone shadowed the performers faces due to light placement

• Good comments – venue feel, intimate, special, nice amount of baked goods
