We live in a very traditional/conservative area, and Sunday afternoons at 2
work for us. That way our elder attendees do not need to drive at night,
and other folks often have free time on Sunday afternoon, or time they are
willing to commit to a program - and, for our audience, 2 p.m. is a good
time after church and lunch!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Ideal day(s) and times for offering public lectures?
Hi All,
Quick question, I hope. Over the years, we have held lectures/speakers
series on different days and times, to better and lesser success. while I
know that topic has a big impact, the day(s) and times they are held also
have impact. I'm wondering what others have found to be the BEST day(s) and
times for lectures -bringing in audience-wise?
We tend to hold lectures in spring and fall. We've tried Wednesday and/or
Thursday evenings --good attendance at the start, but drops over time. Same
with Saturday mornings (10:00 a.m.-ish) and afternoons (3:00 p.m.-ish).
We are located in Oregon's capital city. Population of roughly 225,000
(Salem and surrounding/nearby cities/towns). Median age is about 35, and
only 14% of Salem's population is 62 years or older.
Thoughts and suggestions for good times for speakers (we've tried to move
away from lectures, but our traditional membership base is wanting them)
from those with similar demographics would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keni Sturgeon
