Every few years, the Nashville Rose Society surveys the membership to better understand their interest and needs.
What would encourage you to attend more meetings?
Our meetings are on the first Sunday or Monday of the month. In the past, we had our meetings at Cheekwood in Massey Hall on Sunday afternoon. For the past 2 years, Cheekwood has moved our meeting day and time to Monday evenings in Massey Hall. A potential meeting location for Sunday afternoons is the Calvary United Methodist Church at 3701 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215. Would you prefer to meet Sunday afternoon (2 – 4 pm) or Monday evening (6:30 – 8:30 pm)?
We are interested to know what types of programs and topics would you would like to see at our monthly meetings.
We are also interested in knowing more about you and how you might like to be involved in the Rose Society.
Please answer all the questions on the survey. Your input is invaluable to us to help make our society works for you and meet your needs. Your personal information will be kept private and not made public.
