We offer our lectures on the 3rd thursday of every month, usually  
February through November.  We split the lectures between day and  
evening events.  Sometimes we have more evening lectures but that is  
based on what works best for the speaker.  Our evening lectures start  
at 7pm and usually last about an hour or an hour and a half depending  
on topic and questions.  The day lectures are limited to an hour  
(lunch hour) and start at 11:30am.  We do allow guests to visit the  
museum after the day lecture and one hour before the evening lecture.   
We used to split between Tuesdays and Thursdays but found we get more  
people on Thursdays.  If you have any questions please feel free to  
email me off the list.

> 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.
