Secretary's Report: Emily Passman moved, and Leslie Masson seconded a motion to approve minutes from the May meeting. Treasurer's Report: Diana South Treasurer received request for reimbursement for our portion of the Open Studios expenses. We had approved $350.00 as a contribution for the artist reception. The expenses documented by the submitted receipts exceeded the $350.00 (slightly, at $367.90). Treasurer will pay the $350.00 that we authorized. Current balances: $5,139.44 —State Funds $2,710.09 —Local Funds Future agenda item: LOS has had discussion about future receptions and it may be beneficial for us to include this as a future agenda item. Cristina suggested fall 2014. Chairperson's Report: 2013 Grant update: Grants were all closed. Remaining funds ($1,005.00)will be available to grant next year. Three grant recipients did not submit their expenses in time and these funds remain available for the next cycle. 2014 Grant update: We expect some funds that we awarded will not be used. Examples include: the Bach workshop (not taking place), Bead Polymer group at LACS (did not take grant as they could not find a suitable speaker). Denise Doucette will only make 1 of 2 performances because of difference between monies requested and granted. Upcoming Events: A summer dance at Depot Square will be coordinated by the Folk Art Center of New England(Grant Application 48). Only managed to get one group interested in performing for summer, not all three performances as scheduled. (They requested $500.00, we granted $150.00 due to limited available funds.)
