Enlisting the help of promoter Bob Stane, SongNet has found a home at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena, California. Stane has a legacy in the live entertainment business, most notably, his involvement in establishing The Ice House comedy club in Pasadena, California. In its Altadena location, SongNet meets a short 20 minute drive away from Hollywood and provides a unique meeting venue for the singer-songwriting community that lives east of the area, in Pasadena, in the San Gabriel Valley and further east.
Geleris and Yamagishi have extensive contacts in the singer-songwriter community, and Honles has been the webmaster for the organization since 2001. In addition to the partners, volunteers from the singer-songwriter community and the SongNet membership have acted as singer-songwriter showcase coordinators, special event staff, and goodwill spokespersons. In April 2008, the organization has revised its name to reflect its greater involvement in areas outside Los Angeles city proper, adopting simply "The Songwriters Network" instead of the Los Angeles Songwriter's Network.
Membership in the organization exists in two levels, a free "basic" membership, and a paid membership that supports the SongNet organization financially, and provides the paying member a link on the organization's website, plus a discount at certain other organization's events.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activity:
“Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
