New energy & creativity is always appreciated – New blood needed … you can become actively involved in planning, organizing & production of events & the series as a whole. To encourage fresh energy & creativity to enable a more vibrant organization. With recent retirements, it’s mission critical for new folks to step up!!!
Need to raise money – Bottom line ~ revenue generated from ticket sales doesn’t cover the cost of hosting these events and with Covid, our numbers were further impacted. During our post-pandemic 2021-22 Season, we knew we were going to lose money, and were prepared to. Combined we lost almost $4000 putting a major dent in our treasury. Many folks stepped in above & beyond w/ additional donations, so we have a decent treasury to start 2022-23. Membership donations is mission critical in developing a healthy treasury.
What benefits do you get?
SAVE MONEY – Members pay the advance price at the door (save $5, for a total of $45 per season). No more rushing to get advance tickets for Louisiana bands!!!!
FEEL GOOD – Knowing you are helping keeping the flow of Louisiana musicians rolling through Rochester.
FIRST DIBS – Each summer for the Grass Roots Festival, RCZN has a shared camping spot at Spruce Row. Members of RCZN have first dibs on the limited spaces.
Membership Levels
Supporting Membership – RCZN’s traditional membership – Suggested $25 individual; $35 family
Sustaining Membership – Starts at $50 & goes up to what you’re inspired to go above & beyond.
