Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Because we have no working DVD reading and writing capacity, one of our goals is to be able to read and write DVDs. Another goal is to reach out to at least 200 more residents through e-mail and other mailings with a new computer.We will measure our goal of being able to read and write DVD's by actually doing that. For example, when required to make a DVD of performers' music for our Performance Grant application, we will do that with our new computer, rather than have the coordinator make it on her home computer! We will also enter into our new computer a data base of prospective members, at least 200, so we can reach out to more people in the community. We will measure this goal by analyzing our data base. We have not uploaded an evaluation form because the above outlined results are self explanatory.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The coordinator uses the computer every day she works at the office, continually finding the new computer to be effective. This new computer will enable us to continue, in a timely manner, to keep data bases, communicate with our constituents and prepare
