MEMBERSHIP DRIVE SOCIAL
Will probably be scheduled at the Colony, to honor local musicians. Also fits with other
ideas such as forming a music coordination committee.
>>>>>>>>>A musician’s membership committee was formed to help facilitate the upcoming
drive and ongoing events. Flyers advertising the drive and benefits of membership will
be circulated in town to help spread the word. The chamber might also partner with WKZE
to help sponsor concerts on the green this summer. Musicians that join the chamber will
also be able to have a link to be able to sample their music on their chamber web page. The
plan is to have a musician’s page similar to the artist’s page.
