CHAIR'S REPORT: Debrief October 2 Arts Festival at Creative Arts. Interesting and varied
groups were represented. The new banner was used for our table. Membership update; everyone
is up to date. Diane Russo may participate as an associate member.
MINUTES: The minutes for the meeting of May 10, 2010 were approved unanimously. During
this time, LH suggested that all of us look at LCC websites to see what features look and work
well.
TREASURER: LH shared the LCC Account Form and walked through the process of
determining the available money from which we can allocate for administrative funds and for
grant use. After some discussion, SF moved to accept $4800 (MCC allotment of $4620 + $180
transferred from administration funds) as the amount available for Granting this year (FYI 1) The
motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
GRANT APPLICATION DISTRIBUTION: VS will make a quick check of grant applications to
"flag" any that might not meet requirements. She will also notify each applicant of the
opportunity to make a presentation to the council about their particular grant project and make a
schedule. Once the council votes on each grant application, the applications that are declined will
be notified first, and those accepted will be notified January 1 or later. SF will make a grid for
grant applicant interviews.
MEETING SCHEDULE: The next meeting is scheduled for November 1 for applicant
interviews. The following meeting is scheduled for November 22 when we will vote. Meeting
adjourned at 8:25.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynne Cassinari
