<br />Lexington Council for the Arts (LCA) <br />Minutes for Meeting of March 5, 2007 <br />Room 111, Town Office Building <br /> <br />Present: Barbara Ciampa, Chair; Louise Cady-Fernandes; Jonathan Cue; Jackie Hawkinson; Bill <br />Janovitz; Janet Post, Secretary; Mary Trometer, Treasurer; <br />Absent: Sirarpi Heghinian Walzer <br /> <br />Chair Barbara Ciampa called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Secretary’s Report <br />The secretary’s report for February 5 was accepted. <br /> <br />Treasurer’s Report <br />Treasurer Mary Trometer distributed copies of the Treasurer’s Report. Mary noted that the <br />Town is behind in recording interest accruals. The interest from MCC grant money can be held <br />in the our grant account and rolled into next year’s grant awards. Janet will be reimbursed $37 <br />for postage relating to letters to grant applicants. <br /> <br />MCC/LCA Business <br />Barbara noted that the Massachusetts Cultural Council person now in charge of Local Cultural <br />Councils is Kylie Sullivan. <br /> <br />Barbara noted that because LCA is a Board of Selectmen-appointed committee, our meetings <br />must be held in the Town Office Building and our files kept in the Selectmen’s office. We will <br />be advised of our new selectman liaison in March. <br /> <br />Barbara asked Carl Valente, the Town Manager, if LCA could include a letter in a tax bill <br />mailing for the purpose of raising funds for community cultural projects. He said yes, if it <br />doesn’t increase the amount of postage. <br /> <br />After the Town election Barbara will write a letter to The Lexington Minuteman about the results <br />of LCA’s recent MCC/LCC/PASS grant awards. <br /> <br />Discovery Day Table <br />Barbara suggested that LCA participate with other nonprofit groups at Nonprofit Net’s table. <br />Mary and Louise will work on the small brochure for distribution at this table and other venues. <br /> <br />Membership Status <br />Janet will ask Jean Hart if she plans to become a member of LCA. Sirarpi Walzer and Louise <br />Cady-Fernandes have been appointed full members. Jon will complete the MCC On-Line <br />Training, as will other new members. <br /> <br />Patrons Fund <br />Bill will draft a letter to school PASS grant recipients. Jon will call the principal of each school <br />seeking permission to include a paragraph on PASS-supported field trip permission forms about <br />LCA and ask parents for donations to LCA’s Patrons Fund. He will report back on how this was <br />received at the schools. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
