<br />Lexington Arts Council (LAC) Meeting <br />Minutes for September 11, 2006 <br /> <br />Present: Barbara Ciampa, William Janovitz, Janet Post, Mary Trometer; Guest, Jackie <br />Hawkinson <br />Absent: Allan Adolph <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Barbara Ciampa, who welcomed Jackie Hawkinson, a <br />prospective member of the Council. Barbara reported that she went to Arlington Town Day and <br />spoke with members of the Arlington Cultural Council about their ACC-sponsored events. She <br />noted that the Arlington Cultural Council has 11 members. LAC members need to recruit more <br />members for us to remain viable beyond mid-October, when Allan Adolph’s term expires. <br /> <br />Barbara said that <br />Allan Adolph was to contact the Library Director to arrange a three-way meeting with <br />himself, Rawson and the new LAC chair (Barbara) to discuss the status of the Patrons Fund gift to the <br />Library of a sculpture. <br /> <br />Lexington’s grant allotment from the Massachusetts Cultural Council increased from $3390 to <br />$4230, which the Council will divide between school PASS grants and artist/organization grants. <br />Because last year’s records are incomplete, Treasurer Mary Trometer will check with the school <br />principals of Bridge and Estabrook Schools about whether they submitted the forms for <br />reimbursement or have received reimbursement. Janet Post will call Marcia Steere of Sharing a <br />New Song to see if they have performed and/or received reimbursement. <br /> <br />The treasurer’s report was discussed and accepted. The secretary’s minutes were accepted. <br /> <br />Bill will do a poster for the LAC and give it to Mary to post at the Farmers Market. <br /> <br />Janet will put a notice about the LAC grant availability in the Lexington Minuteman Arts section <br />th <br />which should run until the October 15 application deadline. It should also be posted on the <br />Cary Library bulletin board. <br /> <br />Bill talked about the Patrons Fund; Mary will determine its exact finances. <br /> <br />Barbara thought that the Arlington Cultural Council’s projects bring them good P.R. Mary thinks <br />the LAC should do an event. <br /> <br />Bill will consider the list of names to which the Patrons Fund letter was sent on 4/20/05. <br />Question is how effective a new mailing would be or should we try to do something different. <br /> <br />Barbara adjourned the meeting at 9:30 p.m. The next meeting will be on Monday, October 2, <br />2006, 7:30 p.m., Rm. 111 in the Town Office Building. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ___________________ <br /> /s/ Janet Post, Secretary <br />
