LOS will get back to us within 2 weeks if they want to have us co-host a grantee reception, so that the Council can make other plans if this is not the case. The MCC encourages grantee receptions to recognize grantees and thank the municipal officials, legislators and members who make LCC programs possible. Cheryl suggested that a reception during Hidden Treasures might serve as an alternative opportunity. Emily asked the Council to give an overview to the visitors of what LCA does. Cristina recanted the presentation made the prior Wednesday to the Board of Selectmen about the Council’s charge and outreach projects. As part of this, she highlighted the Hidden Treasures weekend event and passed around a spreadsheet of volunteer opportunities (for logistics, planning, artwork, and day-of help). As this is now part of Lexington’s Revolutionary Revelries program for the month of May, she also brought up the desire to staff a table at this event’s kick-off on May 1st (Friday, 4-7pm, Depot area). Jean spoke about this event in more detail with Dance Inn performers at the Maypole, and kid-oriented crafts such as Wilson Farm baskets and flower-making by LACS. With no further discussions, the LOS guests left at 7:30, after very kindly taking a photo of Council members for the archive. There was a cupcake and seltzer intermission. Website & Social Media Report Diana asked who hosts the website - lest we miss a payment date. Diana reviewed finances all the way back from 2010, but no bills have come and it is not clear how this hosting is getting paid. We don't want to get cut off if the original web designer had paid for a certain time frame. Cristina said she would follow up with Zoe. Cristina mentioned that the website URL wasn’t used in the PSA because of outdated grantee and council member information. Cheryl offered to take on updating the website, but it would have to be in a more universal (and affordable) platform such as Weebly. Matt and Diana reported on the donation option for Facebook - Matt discussion how it was possible, and Diana reporting on herdead-end follow-up with the town accountant. Cheryl advised that the Town has a bank which they use for online donations that other town-affiliated organizations have used in the past. Diana will follow up with town treasurer. Old Business Review of January Mtg. Action Item list (Feb. mtg. cancelled due to snow) Cristina showed Jean’s submission of grantees/events to the Colonial Times and thanked her for both this and the submission to the Minuteman Newspaper. Nothing else was outstanding, other than the Facebook donation investigation noted here in the above paragraph. LexMedia PSA Report Cristina reported that the PSA was made last Saturday - shoehorning all our information into 30
