SPC Membership: Interest vs. Commitment

This quote spurred a lot of inspiration and good things to happen this week.

The Steel Pan Collective (SPC) received our first donation to help get the organization off the ground. It was very generous and it reinforced our commitment (not interest) to get the organization off the ground.  Today, we keep things moving by finishing up some of the basic operational stuff.

Another form of commitment we are working hard on is the SPC membership. What is coming together is a portfolio of benefits that demonstrates our commitment to our members. SPC views its membership as something special for individuals and groups. You will be joining a community of like-minded pan players and supporters who want to see pan grow in our country. So when you send in your money for a membership in the coming months, you should expect in return an organization dedicated to making sure you get the most of your "pan" experience.

One of the areas I can mention has to do with the "unite" portion of the SPC vision triangle. One of our commitments is to make communication a little easier between members. Wouldn't it be great to know what is going on around the country and in your local area? We plan to write about what others are doing whether it be in a concert, launching a pan program for a school, or writing breathtaking new music for pan. We will make it a little easier to find other pan players, instruments, music, and venues. Just doing that will make the membership worth it. But we plan to do more than just that. So keep following this blog for news.

Much like the donor who gave us our first donation this week, we are excited and are committed to making the Steel Pan Collective an organization you will want to join.
