Lori Jones had contacted <br />Colorado Creative Industries would be interested in coming to Louisville to do <br />a grant writing training session. <br />• Inquiry from Laura Webster, Art Teacher, Fireside Elementary inquired about <br />the ending of the Youth Art Show in December.

Because two band members have family in <br />Denver, they are beginning their tour in Colorado. 2 Rasin <br />(pronounced day - rahseen, meaning 2 roots) is a 5 -piece band from <br />Petionville, Haiti. Their original music is fantastic, with Kreyol lyric <br />that promotes peace, love, respect, and equality. Mona Augustine, <br />their singer /song - writer /guitarist has managed his own IDP <br />(internally displaced person) camp since the earthquake, has won <br />music awards, has a children's song that all children in Port-au- <br />Prince sing, is a strong advocate for Haitian children, and is a great <br />painter. They also have lead guitar, violin, bass, and percussion. <br />In addition to music, they also have programs to share Haitian <br />history and culture. I know the notice is short, but if you could hold <br />an event in Louisville, 2 Rasin would love to perform. <br />VI. Treasurer's Report / Grant Updates - See attached report. <br />VII.
