We have $1,200 plus interest in our administrative <br /> account. Jane and Donna clarified that after checking with MCC, all of the State funded grant money <br /> must be awarded, and it is recommended that all of the town funded grant money be awarded. That <br /> total is $14,000. At the last meeting, the council approved awards in the amount of$11,755. <br /> Therefore, based on the new information about distribution of funds, a motion was made and <br /> approved to increase the amount of some grants. <br /> After deliberation, the revised grants were approved, with members recusing themselves during voting <br /> when necessary for conflict of interest reasons, (ie. Brian has involvement with the Art Walk; Norah <br /> and Rosemary have involvement with Irish Set Dancing.) The following is a list of the revised grants: <br /> Reading Community Singers Holiday Concert $1,605 <br /> Killam Susan Hood Author Visit 1,000 <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 1,500 <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 750 <br /> Reading Irish Set Dancing 945 <br /> Killam 501h Celebration 1,000 <br /> New Repertory Theater Romeo and Juliet 450 <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
