She had received statements through October 31, 2019. <br /> There are 4 grants from last cycle remaining to be paid—Color and Sound, Reading Art, Reading <br /> Community Singers and NE School of Ballet. The balance in our account is $12,426.52 plus the $5000 <br /> from the town ($17, 426). Some money is set aside for administrative purposes. Money available for <br /> grant awards is $15,200. There was discussion about whether we need to award all the money <br /> available or whether some can be carried over. Jane stated that we must use the money from the <br /> town first to ensure that we will be able to receive it again in the future. Other funds can be carried <br /> over. <br /> After deliberation, the following grants were awarded, with members recusing themselves during <br /> voting when necessary for conflict of interest reasons, (ie. Brian has involvement with the Art Walk; <br /> Norah and Rosemary have involvement with Irish Set Dancing.) The following is a list of the grants <br /> approved: <br /> Reading Community Singers Holiday Concert $ 1,605 <br /> Killam Susan Hood Author Visit 750 <br /> Senior Center The First Lady performance 283 <br /> Colonial Faire at Parker Tavern 700 <br /> Reading Concert Band Spring Art-Themed Concert 500 <br /> Birch Meadow Poet-in Residence 2,000 <br /> The Ivy Chord Coffee House 800 <br /> Coolidge Science Olympiad 600 <br /> Reading Porchfest 500 <br /> Arts Reading Discover The Arts Day Cultural Festival 277 <br /> Downtown Reading Art Walk 500 <br /> Killam 3'" Grade Field Trip to Decordova 530 <br /> No Suburban CFRN Hula La Family Concert 660 <br /> New England School of Ballet 2019 Fall Series 600 <br /> Reading Irish Set Dancing 500 <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
