Secretary's Report The minutes for the March ‘10 meeting were accepted. Needed changes/corrections to the April 12, 2010 minutes were noted and to be accepted in June’s meeting. Treasurer's Report Marilyn Kolb’s Treasure’s report is unchanged from the April 12, 2010 meeting. MK offered to keep a separate page of grant disbursements as they go out to the grantees. Topics discussed tonight: The Dimmock Award (given to the best vocal student in LHS) traditionally supplemented by LCA, but ZPW and MK uncertain from which LCA fund the LCA draws. MK to request a check of $250 from the town. MK and ZPW to find out the date of the concert and the name of the recipient. ZPW distributed some flyers advertising the 2010 Open Studios for disbursement. All LCA members were invited to the Artists’ Reception. MK suggested we set some dates in the calendar for the fall, esp. in view of the grant cycle which may require additional meeting times to accommodate the review process. 1.Sept. 13 – Full Council Mtg identify protocols for review of applications 2.Oct. 4 –need for this mtg to be determined at the time 3.Oct. 25 --first Sub-committee mtg to filter the applications—quick elimination based on grants that don’t meet basic criteria 4.Nov. 8 –council members to present their grants. Goal to decide on some of the grants presented. 5.Dec. 13 6.Jan 10 –final, final decisions due to MCC The LCA’s “art collection” is now being stored in Cary basement. MK wonders if this is a breach of contract (the art was purchased by the LCA and given as a gift to the town); if that is the case, it might be an argument in favor of having the collection revert to the LCA. Our continuing disc. Is to possibly auction the collection off in order to beef up our Patron’s Fund. VC suggested contacting the library to see if they would be amenable to having that collection be a part of their annual silent auction g RFP in progress Business for Next Meeting Our Call for Oct. 2010 Grant Applications to be published in the Minuteman. This should be re-published in September.
