Voted. IV. Website discussion: Anwell Tsai (20 minutes) There was a discussion about the transfer of the website to the new one. We agree that the new website should have the double mission of informing people about what happens in Lexington as well as spotlight and follow the work of our grantees. The following suggestions were made: - We are thinking about creating a calendar of events and spotlight the different organizations for everybody to see what is going on in Lexington. - Anwell is offering to teach a group of council volunteers how to update the website. - We will be adding our grantees on the calendar and also create a page for each of them. One member of the council will be in charge of acting as a liaison. Pictures will be taken when the grantees' work will be finished and added to the grantee page on the website. V. Council and project updates • Utility boxes: 3 in the Historical District. These have been approved. There were many strong contenders for artists, a very diverse group. • Haiku : solicit haiku poems from the community along with some illustrations. There will be workshops run by poets and by professional sign painters. There will be an opening ceremony.
