MEMBERSHIP | NOVEMBER 2023

Membership is doing well with $357,000 in against an end of October goal of $344,000, putting us ahead by $13,000. This month, we will send our fall appeals to members, including a request to dropped members to rejoin and to current members at the Individual/Dual and Family/Grandparents level to move up to the Sponsor level for a discounted rate of $100. This should bring in added revenue above our expected membership revenue received from our renewals.

We looked at the effectiveness of our member acquisition efforts leading up to the grand opening of Vladem Contemporary and are pleased to report that we've gained nearly 1,000 member households putting us at nearly 9,000 currently. Our fiscal year end goal is to grow to 10,000!

Our photos are in from the Member Preview of the Vladem Contemporary. You can view the Flickr album here.

Our next event will be November 17 and 21 at the Vladem Contemporary showcasing the new Education Center, its programs and the Artist in Residence Studio. This event is for members who joined through special Vladem Contemporary Promotions or our spring upgrade campaign.

Also, please mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 21 through Sunday, November 25 for the fall Members' Extra Discount Shops Sale. General members will receive 20% off all shops purchases at our five stores and at shopmuseum.org.
