CHAIR'S REPORT: Liz Whitelam reported that the Mass. Cultural Council has indicated that our allocation for the coming year will be $5,560. Final notification will be made in October. Grant applications are now available. LW will distribute them in appropriate locations such as Town Hall and the public library. She will also see that the application is available through our own website and the Cultural Connection website. It was suggested that Judy Clark of the Reading Antiquarian Society had expressed interest. A press release was scheduled for publication in mid-September announcing the availability of applications and seeking volunteers to serve on the RCC. LW will follow up with people who expressed interest in the RCC during the Town Day event. It was proposed and agreed that the meeting scheduled for November 20 would be changed to November 27. It was noted that the June 10 meeting would be held in the upstairs room at the Police Station, or moved to the Senior Center due to a scheduling conflict with the regular first floor meeting room. LW announced that this summer marks the 3-year point for community feedback. A future agenda item will be to determine how best to gather feedback before the end of 2008. ADJOURNED - 7:20 PM.
