Treasurer’s Report Treasurer Mary Trometer will be in discussions with Janet Post to clarify records. It was acknowledged that Mary must have the final report ready for submission to the MCC. MCC/LCA Business Barbara noted that the Massachusetts Cultural Council contact person, Kylie Sullivan, reminded the Council of our responsibility to elicit community input and feedback. We discussed options such as a pamphlet/handout and/or a published invitation to the public to attend our open meetings. We later discussed how to best attain acknowledgement of the LCA and MCC grants on school permission slips for LCA-subsidized events. We also discussed getting out a yearly letter to school administrators requesting that they prioritize and organize the various requests for grants that come from their respective schools. Web Site Ideas Sirarpi will investigate the process of getting a designated LCA web site, possibly via the Lexington Town site, which George Burnell noted would soon be restructured and revamped. Membership Status Jon will complete the MCC On-Line Training. We all expressed our pride for his achievement. LCA logo
