3. Admission to the coffeehouse is $6 - $10. Attendance is unpredictable. Maximum audience for a sit-down performance is 96. Maximum audience for a stand-up act is 145. Anything over 75 people is considered a good audience.
4. It is a good opportunity to sell items, have a raffle, hand out promotional material.
5. Local newspapers are interested in reporting the coffeehouse and your organization, so a concerted effort on your part will increase your visibility and give you a chance to promote your work.
6. Ideally, your publicity efforts could result in a third of the audience or more. Also, supports of benefit groups are likely to pay the higher end of sliding scale.
7. We PSA's to newspapers and radio stations and post 75 posters. A master copy of the poster is included in this package. Further copies on more attractive paper stock can be generated, and your efforts in postering can only help. Please reproduce and distribute as many more as you can. Your participation in promoting the event is essential to maximizing fund-raising potential. Please invite your membership and friends.

The Full Moon Coffeehouse is organized and supervised by a volunteer committee who annually renew their individual commitments to work to benefit local environmental and progressive organizations and to promote the performing arts. The committee is pleased to be working with you. We always enjoy our efforts and inevitably experience each coffeehouse as special. We're sure you will feel the same. We are receptive to your comments and suggestions. If you have any questions, the following committee members can help:
