Mandy: You are set to appear on a couple of local programs: NPR morning show that will tape Friday morning, Radio One’s R&B and Gospel radio stations next week. Your interview with Hot 97 is set for next Monday afternoon and they’ll play it around the 6pm time slot. The gospel segment will be taped this Thursday to be replayed on Sunday. We are also listed in the standard community and cultural and special events outlets. All of our school contacts received an email with a poster pdf file that can be printed and posted on bulletin boards or sent home with the children. Each of those publicized the Friday evening event and the exhibit in general.

Bette: Good those will be great resources and hopefully we’ll pull in some new visitors to the museum. I’m going to take a stroll around the museum then leave when I get back. If you’re gone before I return have a great night.

Mandy: You too Bette, thanks.

Bette strolls the facility from the loading docks to the front entrance trying to confirm that their plans will indeed flow well for Thursday and Friday night. She was particularly concerned with Friday as there was no RSVP list and the turnout might get to be more than they were prepared for, perhaps twice what their Friday night events normally draw. She was thinking of ways to distribute the entertainment such that the crowd would be more spread throughout the museum. The dancers would remain in the feature hall, but the poetry reading and even the band could be moved to another standing room only area with little fan fare. Thursday was by invitation only so that crowd would be easily managed. Bette walked and smiled as she thought this was definitely a good problem to have. As promised she powered down her laptop and headed home right away. Even in the New York winter Bette enjoyed the walk home in the evening. She decided on a detour though, the local diner and their soup of the day sounded better than cooking tonight so she headed in for a bowl of soup, a salad and bread.

Once home Bette begins work on her speeches for the MLK evening and outlined her points for the radio interviews. She emails the rough drafts to her communications team leader ahead of their meeting tomorrow. She had enough work for the day and gives Kit a call.
