The consensus was the earlier the better to give the public ample time to apply for grants. It was suggested to alert the public via the Lexington Minuteman that they may come to our Discovery Day booth to receive information about applying for a grant and also information on how to get help in writing one. · Janet updated us on Art Walk and the Art hunt that our council is sponsoring. The Art Hunt planning sub-committee consists of Janet, Mary, Jan and Louise. The first step in planning the Art Hunt is to review the artwork that is going to be on display. Janet will find out what date this is. · The website committee met earlier this evening and Sirarpi updated us on plans for our site that includes a listing of all the different art groups in Lexington, an events page, and a Paton’s Fund page. Hopefully the groups that we will link to will also link to us. Sirarpi estimates the website to cost about $250 per page (we need 6 pages) plus domain name/hosting which is $100 a year. It was voted to pay for the cost of it out of the Paton’s Fund and Sirarpi will do the work on the site. The website committee will meet again next month one hour before our regular monthly meeting. th · The year 2013 is the 300 anniversary of Lexington and our council will plan something in celebration of this town wide celebration
