Please respond to the list since many of us would find advice on this topic useful. Also, does anyone have advice or experience with direct mail campaigns - either for membership or other financial campaigns? Becky Fitzgerald Susquehanna Museum _____ From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Susan Floyd Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 1:48 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Membership Drives Hello, As our membership is not increasing as we would wish, it's time for a membership drive in the community. Apart from getting articles in the local papers and having tables at our events, can anyone offer further advice about conducting/organizing such a drive to "reinvigorate" the membership? We are a small historical society with future plans for a permanent museum.
