It is <br />scheduled to be deployed on the home page of the town's website by the end of this week. The <br />town has also agreed to send a link to the survey to residents who have provided their email <br />addresses for town communications. <br />CHAIR'S REPORT <br />LW reported that scheduling difficulties have forced the Reading Band Parents to postpone the <br />New Orleans night for which they had received an RCC grant. A discussion followed about the <br />rules pertaining to how the rescheduling would affect their eligibility to receive the granted funds. <br />It was agreed that it was acceptable for the Band Parents to roll the grant over to the following <br />calendar year without jeopardizing their RCC funding. <br />TOWN DAY <br />LW reported that she registered the RCC for a table at the Reading Friends and Family Day on <br />June 21. She circulated a catalog of promotional items for input about what sort of souvenir we <br />might offer visitors to our table for the purpose of raising our visibility and attracting new <br />members. It was agreed that we would hand out rules imprinted with our logo and with the <br />caption "the value of culture is immeasurable." <br />LH also suggested an interactive activity such as a mural celebrating the arts to which our visitors <br />could contribute. <br />The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:30, and was followed by a well-attended grantee <br />reception. <br />Next meeting rescheduled for Monday, June 9 due to scheduling conflict with the Police Station <br />Community Room. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Vicky Schubert <br />t <br />
