There is a balance of $8800.22 in our account <br /> <br /> <br />Grant Business: <br /> <br />Thirty-five grant proposals have been submitted that our grant subcommittee has done an initial <br />review of. The proposals total $22,998. We have only $4470 that has been allocated to us by <br />MCC for distribution. The subcommittee will meet one more time before our next meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />??We currently have two applicants to fill the vacancy on our board from Myron’s <br />resignation. Victoria Campos will be invited to join our next meeting so that we can meet <br />her. <br />??We have been approved by the town to have posters and/or a banner made that says <br />“Lexington Council for the Arts” to hang at our functions, or for other groups to hang <br />that we have given money to. Zoe will order them. <br />??Zoe suggested developing an email list to use to notify people about our grant cycle in <br />the future. <br />??Continued discussion about someday having an art auction to sell the artwork that our <br />council owns. <br />??Barbara shared an email from MCC about nominating a local group that we have given <br />grant money to for a Golden Star Award or a Leadership Council Award. Janet will put a <br />list together of all the different groups we have given grant money to so that we can <br />discuss this further. <br />??Zoe discussed the possible MCC reduction in our grant money and how it might effect <br />our communications with those that we are giving grant money to. It was agreed that <br />sending out a preliminary approval letter to our grant recipients letting them know about <br />the possible cutbacks and delay in funding might be a good thing to do. <br />??Barbara reported that the library is now thinking of making the donor wall a tile artwork <br />instead of a mural. <br /> <br />Business for Next Meeting: <br /> <br />
