3 Thank-you gifts of framed pictures and LCA pins/badges were given to Zoe Perry-Wood for her service as Chairperson, and to Victoria Campos for her service as Secretary. Agendas have been put online for all committee members to access and add to at any time. These documents were shared with members on GoogleDrive. Agendas will be posted to the town on the Thursday morning before a Monday evening meeting. New Business : Cristina requested that anyone who is interested in working on the LCA contribution to the Patriots’Day parade set up a working group to begin this process. Barbara Simkowski, Education Director at the Munroe Center for the Arts has offered the group space to create and store things, as well as to get help from the artists there. Cristina will be sending out an email, or DoodlePoll to get a meeting date. Cheryl noted that the Munroe Saturday Nights program was interested in collaborating with the LCA in their fundraising plans - helping with such support as invitees, location, publicity, etc. This item was met with enthusiasm by the committee and will be discussed further as the group talks more about fundraising. The floor was opened up to Nan Jeffries, a Development Specialist, who came to talk with the group about fundraising. The committee came away with a goal to further discuss what they want to raise money for, how much they want to raise, and who they might go after to recruit funds. Also discussed was individuals possibly serving as “Friends of LCA”who might help secure funds for the group. Nan offered to send the group a document of what a job description for “Friends of LCA”might look like, as well as meet with the committee again in the future. Diana South volunteered to check in with the town to find out what the tax status of LCA is (to explore possibility of receiving grants). Jean Hart volunteered to send out a press release to congratulate 2014 grantees. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00pm.
