The report stated <br />that the Joshua Eaton PTO had submitted for payment. EMARC also held its program, <br />and therefore, submission for reimbursement is expected within the month. With this, all <br />grants from the 2003-2004 year will be paid. <br />Mail: <br />® We received a letter from the LCC stating that all training for Cultural Council <br />members is now online and any member is required to become trained within 3 <br />months of being appointed. <br />® We receive a note of thank you from the EMARC program. <br />Community Input Survey: The RCC recently distributed the Community Input Survey <br />around the town and collected the responses. The survey was approved by the <br />superintendent's office, distributed to several homerooms in the high school and <br />collected. Copies were also left at town hall and at the library open house where <br />additional responses were collected. Among the information collected in this survey were <br />the names and contact information for people who answered that they were interested in <br />becoming more active with cultural events in town. We will be making personal contact <br />calls to these people in the hope of raising greater community involvement. We discussed <br />plans of making a database of the results, and we will review the results at a future <br />meeting. <br />Friends and family Day: We discussed plans for the Reading Friends and Family Day, <br />and will discuss plans further at the June meeting. <br />May 18¢h meeting: An email was sent to the neighboring Cultural Councils from <br />Lynnfield, Wakefield, Woburn, Stoneham, Andover, North Reading, Melrose, Methuen <br />and Winchester inviting them to our May 18th meeting. At this meeting we will discuss <br />successes and strategies used by other councils in hopes of getting new ideas. We will be <br />contacting those people who gave their names on the community input survey and <br />inviting them to this meeting as well. We also discussed refreshments for this meeting. <br />Meeting Adjourned: 7:45 <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Janet Latherley <br />
