Topics of Discussion:
The meeting was called to order by Nancy Ziemlak at 7:03 pm in the Arts and Crafts Room of the
Pleasant Street Senior Center. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
Treasurer's Report was presented. There is no change since the previous meeting. Jane reported that
she spoke with the Town Treasurer's office to clarify that the extra money in our account is
administrative money to be used to carry out the business of the Council. Three requests for
reimbursement were received for the 2016 cycle—The Ivy Chord, Birch Meadow School and North
Suburban Child and Family Resource Network. The Treasurer's report was approved.
Maryann reported that the press release will be sent to our mailing list. The MCC website was updated
with the most current information about our local council, and the Town's Link to RCC was also
updated. Maryann has distributed the press release to local papers. Nancy reported that she initially
had difficulty emailing any of the Town of Reading employees because of the link to the MCC. After
removing this, she was able to succeed in reaching them.
The Reception E-vites will be sent tomorrow. The final design and information was approved by the
council. The agenda for the Reception was discussed. It was decided to keep it fairly informal, but
that there should be introductions of the Grantees and any prominent Town or State government
officials. Nancy reported that she is working on gathering pictures and Logos from Grantees to have
slide show going on in the background. Assignments for obtaining the necessary paper goods and
food for the reception were made. Nora will get paper goods. Jane will get drinks. The rest of the
members will bring sweets.
The next meeting will take place just prior to the Reception at 6:00 pm on May 2, 2016 in the Senior
Center Community Room.
The meeting adjourned at 7:38 pm.
