No <br /> payments have been made. Two requests for reimbursements were submitted, but not paid <br /> yet. Grant money plus interest totals $6806.04. <br /> Donna reported the New England School of Performing Arts confirmed they have new dates <br /> and will run their program. <br /> Publicity and Survey: <br /> Mary Ann was not present, but had stated in an email that she would prepare an article <br /> about the survey results for distribution. It could include information about the grant <br /> application process, the survey results, as well as a pitch for people who might be interested <br /> in joining the Council in the future. She will contact Reading Rec over the summer about an <br /> email drop to their data base. Your Community Connection ad will run in Sept/Oct about <br /> the grant application process. Currently YCC is including information about our survey. <br /> Donna will reserve the signs on the common for September reminding about the deadline <br /> for grant applications. <br /> Nancy reported that so far we have at about 83 responses to the survey—fairly equally <br /> divided between respondents from a web link vs the email invite. Specifics were not <br /> available yet. <br /> Donna talked about collecting photos from grant recipients' events to post on our web page, <br /> or on the Town website. Nancy will email recipients and ask them to send along photos of <br /> events if possible. This will be useful for the next Reception as well. <br />
