Minutes of the previous meeting were approved. <br />Treasurer's Report was presented and approved. <br />Publicity and Advertising <br />Update about the idea of a training video for grant writing for RCC proposals took place. It was <br />decided to make the event an Open House on May 4, the date of the May RCC meeting and hold it in <br />the Senior Center. Nancy suggested taking an informal survey of grant recipients about what they felt <br />would be helpful information to include. Nancy and Mary Ann will collaborate. <br />We will seek approval to put our signs on the Common again. Possibly in May and again in Fall. <br />Nancy will put together a list of all non - profit organizations in Reading to target with mailings. We <br />talked about ads in the Reading Recreation bulletin and Community Connection. <br />Our Facebook account has expired due to lack of activity. We discussed the fact that it is probably not <br />worth trying to maintain it as people don't have a reason to "like" our page and there are so many <br />other ways to communicate, such as through the Town of Reading Facebook page, LCC and MCC, etc. <br />Donna suggested we use flyers, which we can easily print and distribute to high - traffic areas like <br />grocery stores, the YMCA, churches, banks, etc. Donna will prepare these. <br />Discussion about membership —Cate and Nancy will complete their terms June 30. Cate reported that <br />she does not plan to continue, therefore we will need a new Treasurer. Jane Soloway is interested in <br />becoming a member and would be able to perform that duty. Another person has expressed interest <br />in joining the committee and will attend the next meeting. <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:45 pm. <br />Page 1 1 <br />
