MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II - BLOG EDITION


MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II

I was hoping to send off the new membership cards yesterday to the 2010-2011 members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - several folks have already joined who were not members for 2009-2010, and I know they want to get in on those show discounts as soon as possible. I'm afraid I took a break from working yesterday to attend a family celebration in Queens (not my family actually, but the family of a friend) for Mothers Day. I really am not comfortable going to parties and celebrations at someone else's home, but this was "safe" - it was in a restaurant, just about 75 feet from a subway entrance for any necessary hasty escape - and it was a Columbian restaurant. I could not resist, especially since I dine out so rarely lately.
So, I shall return to the task after this issue goes out, and after I code it up and load it up on the website. I may not get it completed today, since I will be going to the BROADWAY BY THE YEAR 1966 show at THE TOWN HALL tonight, but tomorrow is one of my "free days" and sort of my weekend - two days in a row without publishing a newsletter!

In that connection, I hope as many current members as possible will renew their memberships in the next week or so - we have a very busy June coming up, and by renewing early (all memberships expire on July 5th) I can get a lot of the work done early as well on the website and elsewhere. This year we are including FaceBook addresses to the member listings in addition to website URLS, MySpace addresses and Twitter contacts where applicable. And the Member CD Sales all have to be updated, and the member YouTube links.
Once again, here are the membership levels and costs:
$5 - $19 - SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP (via PayPal only)
$20 - $49 - SILVER MEMBERSHIP
$50 - GOLD MEMBERSHIP
$100 - CRYSTAL MEMBERSHIP
$250 - PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP
$500 - DIAMOND MEMBERSHIP
$1000 - DIAMOND SELECT MEMBERSHIP
Full details of benefits for each level of membership are on the website - just click on the JOIN HERE button at the top of every page. 2010-2011 Membership cards will be valid through July 5th, 2011. If you decide to join by check (for over $19), please remember, all checks should be made out simply to STU HAMSTRA and mailed to 676A Ninth Avenue #120, New York, NY 10036.
Or you can donate instantly via PayPal using a credit/debit card for whatever amount you wish! Just click here - from the amount of your donation we can determine the level.
