Jean explained the organization of the Arts and Crafts Society and thought that they and the Council for the Arts are naturally suited. Barbara reminded Jon and Louise to complete their MCC On-Line Training. She announced that Jane Buchbinder and Daniel Kerstner are leaving MCC and explained the various ways that MCC personnel are helpful to local cultural councils. Secretary’s Report Janet agreed to distribute the minutes earlier as requested. Bill asked that the January minutes be [not Bill] reported that the LAC can buy a mailing list from the corrected to read, “Barbara Chamber of Commerce for $30.” The January minutes were then approved. Treasurer’s Report Mary will monitor the transfer of state grant money in the town treasurer’s office. Janet will prepare the letters of final approval for grant recipients. Barbara read a paragraph from MCC Guidelines which requires LCCs to establish a subcommittee of the Treasurer and one other member who will be authorized to approve all payments and accounts. The subcommittee is so established with Mary and Louise as members whose actions will be reported to the full council at meetings. Letters of Approval The final letters of approval will ask the school grant recipients to include the MCC logo along with a statement of support received from LCA and MCC on the field trip permission slips as well as in the PTO newsletters. Barbara asked that the names of all LCA members’ names be listed on the approval letters. Janet will write letters of approval for PASS and LCC grant recipients and bring them to the next meeting for the Council’s approval.. New LCA Logo? Jonathan presented his idea of replacing the Minuteman statue’s gun with a horn, out of which would pour “notes” representing various art forms. Jon and Jean will work on the new logo. It should be iconic and representative of each of the arts, and possibly in color. Council Name We formally established Lexington Council for the Arts as the official name of this committee.
