Thanks Michael! trying to coordinate an adult and YA program to participate All: Lori and Fond du Lace have been involved for a number of years so have a robust program. To begin with, the only ask is that you do at least 'one' program during the week. Will the presentation be available as a handout? So impressive! Yes, the prograqm is being recorded and archived and we will send out the link after the webinar. from Lora Glass to All Participants: from Michael Biltz to All Participants: from Cathy Seary to All Participants: great information! thank you lori Hello. Thanks Lori - very informative! from Nel Ducomb to All Participants: Excellent Lori! from Webinar Support to Lori Burgess from Cathy Seary to All Participants: Good job Lori!!

We do not pay presenters. They are usually happy to donate their time and expertise Thanks We'll capture the chat log. I can give it to Michael afterwards. Starting small is a great tip! Start with a storytime, perhaps one adult program. How many programs do you have during the week? our goal is to bring 4 to 5 sessions to our community in 2013. Then increase from there based on our success. from Michael Dowling to All Participants: from Le Harris to All Participants: from Elizabeth Heady to All Participants: from Melina Reylek (privately): Just one to be a Money Smart Week participant. A few years ago we had 50+ programs--that was WAY too many for us. Yes the Consumer Action handbook is a great resource! What about older patrons? For kids, we usually have a storytime, a piggy bank program, and a contest or two. We now do these on one day "Family Moolah Fun Day" sound is lost For older patrons, we group programs--usually 3-4 on Mon & Wed Mornings. 2-3 on Tuesday afternoon and at least one per night on Mon, Tue, and Wed
from Webinar Support to Melina Reylek Hi Melinda, you can try stopping and starting the stream in that audio broadcast window. from Webinar Support to Melina Reylek (privately): from elissa mcdonald to All Participants: from Barbara Roberts to All Participants: from elissa mcdonald to All Participants: from Barbara Roberts to All Participants: from sharon stegemeyer to All Participants: from Michelle Mitchell to All Participants: It should come back on its own. It's just an internet bottleneck. It's clear here on the phone. Lori- Did you host the couponing in the evening with a daytime option? stacking the programs or having them all in a row keeps the participants here, but give them a break in between (and the option to leave if they want) Do you ever do anything with K-12 schools in the community? The couponing program was held on a Saturday morning. HUGELY popular! that makes sense - and connect it to the family day? But what do you do with the children from K-12 schools? how did you find the couponing person? We've done couponing on Saturdays in the early afternoon and had a relatively good turnout from Lora Glass to All Participants: from Nel Ducomb to All Participants: from Michael Biltz to All Participants: from Charlotte Skousen to All Participants: from Michael Dowling to All Participants: Thank you.
