Louisville Cultural Council Meeting Minutes DATE Page 3 of 5 Arts Center Don reported that the DeckerlThomas Grain Elevator is a possible site for an Arts Center. The grain elevator needs to be preserved. Karen Gerrity, our SCFD representative, is the contact with the family that owns the land. Karen is working to get a structural assessment of the building. We think we can get the structural assessment funded from a state-wide organization, but additional funds will be needed. The family is very interested in having a charitable component of the request for the property. Sponsorsh i ps Kathy Pollicita publicly thanked Kathy Martin and Julie Seydel for their help in reproducing the fund raising letter and mailing it out in June. Kathy reported the total money raised from the letter as of today is $600 cash, $100 donation from Safeway and four rounds of golf and carts. We will be receiving $140 for the rounds of golf in August. She also reported that the concert series raised $887.33 from sponsorships - The Entrepreneur's Source, Cortinos Pizza, and solicited donations for water and from the crowd. We need to continue to ask for donations at all of our events. Old Business Collaboration with other groups is needed for funding from SCFD. Rene Heredia, a Flamenco guitarist, wants to work with us again, this time with dancers. Because of the limited space available in Louisville, Wendy is working to have them to perform at the Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts, where they will pay him $2,000. Wendy requested that LCC would contribute $500 toward the concert from the Oct. Coffeehouse Concert budget. Don Atwood moved to approve $500 Rocky Mountain Center for the Rene Heredia performance. All in favor except for one. Motion approved. New Business David reported that the last children's concert was a huge success. Also, he reported that there will be a silent movie and a children's concert in the fall.
