A. Doors Bidding Owl was our favorite platform but it was complicated so the following decisions were made: - 25 % of each sale will go to the artists - The historical society will handle the organization of the online auction and we will get 75% of the net proceeds. DPW will take the doors down after Oct 14th and bring them to Munroe where they will be stored. Volunteers will help deliver them to the buyers. B. Utility Boxes The project will be broken into different phases The director of recreation development would like to have the boxes at that location painted. With Suzie Barry 's facilitation, we have put together a proposal (4 boxes) . In the rest of the town, we have identified 5 smaller boxes (400 dollars per box + 500 for the project manager- from theCouncil's budget). We have also identified 5 boxes out of the historical district .( need approval) Finally there is one box near the high school and we might encourage students to propose a design. We will need to assemble a jury. Our Project Manager/Curator has already been hired. Jillian moves that 2500 dollars be allocated to the utility boxes :All in favor C. Cary Library/Music Musicians would narrate children's stories with their instruments. The Library and the BSO would be involved. The Next step is to approach the Lexington Symphony. Other ideas : Open mic, Porch fest , poetry and improv... D. Fairy Homes & Gardens Fairy homes and Gardens come to Lexington! ( Ashley's book) Week june 6th to 10th 2022 at Munroe and at the Library. The council would offer its support by designing a map. The objective of this project is to repurpose your old earrings for example, and use nature and imagination to build a fairy house. This project would include workshops or lectures and the library would assemble a collection of books on the topic. We could also invite artists to create their own fairy house that we could sell or auction off. On September 24th the Community Center will showcase a fairy house.
