Maryann still needs to <br />complete the Conflict of Interest training for the Town. <br />There was discussion about trying to find new members and whether or not there should be <br />attendance requirements. Donna will check with Laura Gemme to see if the By -Laws <br />address attendance requirements. Donna will contact Jacalyn about whether she will be <br />able to attend future meetings, as she has been absent for several. Currently there is one <br />unfulfilled spot on the council. The person Donna had contacted about volunteering <br />declined. Everyone was encouraged to contact people who might be interested in serving <br />on the council. <br />Publicity efforts for the current campaign were reviewed and all were felt to have been <br />effective, especially the Reading Recreation's catalog ad, Community Connection, signs on <br />the common, Letter to schools, fliers and press release to the Chronicle. No one saw the <br />information in the Patch. There was discussion about providing a workshop in the spring <br />about how to apply for a grant. Donna asked if the State Council might come to run the <br />workshop. Vanessa Wu, our liaison, is no longer with the MCC. Lynne thought we could <br />prepare a power point presentation and have a question and answer session, possibly with <br />some former Grantees present. Maryann will look Into setting this up. <br />The meeting schedule for the year was presented. There is a conflict with a special Town <br />Meeting in January, so the date was changed to 1/12/15.
