HERE & THERE - PART I - BLOG EDITION


HERE & THERE - PART I

We made good use of the heat wave by staying indoors over the weekend to catch up on work that was piling up on our desk, especially sending out CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE 2010-2011 MEMBERSHIP CARDS. We had to update our database with all the folks who joined since our 20th ANNIVERSARY GALA on the 13th, and we pretty much accomplished that.

As of yesterday, we tallied 175 official members, with a few additional "in transit" - folks who requested "PayPal Invoices" but had not sent in payments yet. I also have a stack of envelopes to go over for a second time to make sure that checks that had been enclosed were posted properly (we were receiving checks for gala tickets at the same time as MEMBERSHIP payments).

With one week left before the end of the month, it would really be great if we could reach 200 members by the 31st. And the next goal would be 300 by August 31st - dare we hope?

Remember - we set our membership renewals to take place in July & August, when our Banner Ad income usually drops to nearly zero, so not only do you get more months of benefits by joining now, your payment is received just when we need it most.

Special note to 2009-2010 members who have not renewed: we'll be running the current CD SALE pages through August 31st, while adding the CD SALE pages of new members every week. At the end of August we will delete all the CD SALE, BLOG LINKS and YOUTUBE links from those special sections on the website of those who haven't renewed, as well as the 2009-2010 Member Pages (with website, MySpace, FaceBook and Twitter links. Don't miss a day of benefits! Renew today.

We've also made some changes regarding shows offering discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. These items will be promoted as in the past on the special CABARET DISCOUNTS page on the website, and included every Saturday in the special MEMBERS ONLY NEWSLETTER. They will also appear in the newsletter along with other news items. However, to keep the newsletter as short as possible, we will only repeat discounted show announcements for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE in every Monday issue up to the show date. Formerly, all shows offering discounts were included in the Monday issues.
