Member Survey

Dear Credo Members and Friends:

Over the years the Credo board has worked diligently along with the Catholic Central Union of Missouri to bring outstanding speakers to our forums. The cost associated with bringing in some of these speakers has risen significantly. We are not interested in making a profit on these events but we need to at least break even.

Obviously if we were to consistently lose money we would soon be out of business. Our goal is to continue to bring in some prominent national speakers as well as local ones, however the cost of bringing in these national speakers cannot be covered by our usual forum dinner prices.

Please complete the following brief survey questions to help us determine your willingness to accept a possible different format. Please return your input by answering yes or no or other comments for each of the questions.

Return your answers to Howard Brandt via e-mail (hcbrandt@att.net) or in writing to:
Howard Brandt
4386 Honeydew Lane
St. Louis MO. 63128.

You input is very important.

1. Would you like to see more nationally prominent speakers i.e., bishops ,priests,, authors, nationally recognized laymen etc.?

2. Would you be likely to attend forums with speakers as mentioned above with the following changes to our usual dinner format.

* The Dinner would not be included
* The venue would not be at a hotel or restaurant. More likely at a religious facility large enough to accommodate our attendees.

3. Would you prefer to keep the forums at the hotel venue with dinner included and if necessary, with an increase in ticket price to cover speaker costs. (The cost could vary depending on the speaker.)?

4. Do you have any suggestions for our forums or for possible speakers?

Comments:


We look forward to hearing from you in order to make a satisfactory determination on this issue. Thank you for your support.

In Christo,
Your Credo Board Members
