Not to disagree with your point, but your numbers are a bit off. They
bill themselves as Northern California's largest singles organization,
and have a few thousand members. That provides enough revenue to pay
staff a decent wage, but also increases the workload to the point where
they may have to have several staff people. They also do a significant
amount of radio advertising, which costs money.
Thanks for taking my point to a more accurate conclusion, Chuck. I didn't
realize Perfect Strings had such a large membership (I was drawing on
experience in putting out a newsletter for a non-profit organizations which
had no paid staff).
So has anyone else had any experience with Perfect Strings? It sounds like
a good deal, and for less than $100 a year, pretty painless to join. But
then, if it means buying two tickets to a classical concert in SF, it could
end up costing you your rent money just to date another classical music
lover. :-)
