It's not that this not for non-members, it just isn't a piano issue.
Thanks also to William and Joe for your posts.
 
PTG has a $20,000 fund set aside for the Chapter Grant program.
It is an effort to encourage Chapters to develop interesting/different ways
to promote PTG and the RPT brand.
Applications can be found in the Chapter Resource area of www.ptg.org.
Basically, the application is sent to the Executive Committee. It is then
checked to see if the plan fits the criteria,
part of which includes some financial commitment on the part of the
Chapter.
Since the program started we have only received a few applications per year.
Some were rejected and some were given the OK. 
Each rejection was responded to, either by email or direct phone
conversation with the contact person,
as to how the idea might be changed to qualify.
 
I'm sure the beginning of this thread referred to the combined chapter
project in the Chicago area which was a very impressive and bold effort.
Another aspect of the Chapter Grand project is the chapters involved have to
provide an analysis of the end result at the end of the project. This has
yet to be determined in the case of the Chicago project.
 
Thanks for listening,

PS I don't see any ads at the bottom of this page but if it shows up......I
m sure someone will let me know."

Jim,
I could be snide or derisive, but I won't. What you just wrote was the
intent I had when I chastised you for the "censorship" thang. It's good
info that does not need to go anywhere except out, imo. And, I think it's a
good program in it's infancy. Only time will tell.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joe
