Patrons Fund <br />Barbara read MCC guidelines for the fundraising coordinator, which would pertain in our case to <br />the Patrons Fund. Bill and Jon will define their roles from these guidelines. <br /> <br />Bill and Jon met with personnel at Peet’s Coffee in Lexington Center. Peet’s doesn’t give <br />money, but would donate a gift basket or coffee for an LCA event. Jon and Bill made calls to <br />selected merchants in the Chamber of Commerce book. Bill obtained a grant application from <br />the local Starbucks. <br /> <br />Janet suggested that we inquire about enclosing an envelope/letter soliciting donations with one <br />of the quarterly property tax bills. <br /> <br />Jon will see if the schools require a parental permission slip for field trips to the Boston <br />Symphony. If so, they could add a line saying, “This trip was partially funded by the Lexington <br />Council for the Arts. If you believe your child benefited from this trip, please consider making a <br />donation to LCA.” <br /> <br />Jon reported that Mary found a list in past records of people who made contributions to the <br />Patrons Fund. <br /> <br />Jon suggested making a window decal for businesses and others who donate to the Patrons Fund. <br /> <br />All members agreed that it would be good to have an LCA-sponsored public event. <br /> <br />New Business <br />Barbara said that a committee has been approved by the Selectmen for celebrating Lexington’s <br />Tri-Centennial in 2013. We agreed that the Council should be involved in some way. Jackie <br />will contact Tri-Centennial Committee members Cynthia Savage or Susan Rockwell. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:35. The next meeting will be on March 5, 2007, 7:00 p.m., <br />Room 111, Town Office Building. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> /s/ Janet Post, Secretary <br />
