An 1850s house was just dismantled, and new owners of Dana Home donated 11 pieces of granite ranging from 4'- 9', and David Williams proposing to establish a meditation garden using these pieces of granite. A set of drawings was shown to the LCA. David asked what aspect of the project LCA willing to fund. Buster Prospect HIII Park (Concord) was D.W.'s model for the Lexington project. • With David, LCA also discussed the LCA's desire to find a dedicated gallery space for artists. Ask Deb Mauger for a site study for an LCA gallery space, such as the Masonic Park buildings. • David Williams also suggested LCA request funds from Town Meeting, Dec. 28, 2012 was the deadline — nothing barring us from asking for $25K, e.g. in 2013. • D.W. also discussed locating the Filipowski sculpture in the alleyway by Bank of America, where a park (in the style of Vest Pocket Park) is being planned. • D.W. suggested Wilson Farm, League of Conservation, and Lexington Symphony might be good resources for helping to sponsor silent auctions to fundraise for LCA. • LCA grant Approval Letters need to go out. • Emily briefed the council about the Community Fund of Lexington.
