xv - Art in the Park: Kathy M. and Maryan reviewed the status of the Art in the Park with the city. XVI - End of Year Report: Susan M. gave an update on the status of the End of Year Report of how we used SCFD funds. She stressed "collaboration and innovation" in the report. She agreed to distribute a draft copy for review. Don. A. noted that the SCFD likes anecdotes about events. Tara will send Jim P. the financials. Kathy M. requested a copy of the final report. Julie noted that some of this info can be used in next year's grant application. Don A. initiated a discussion of how to account for volunteer time. XVII-Recap of Completed Events and Discussion of Future Events: Lynn recapped the Young Artists and noted that the event more than paid for itself ($68 profit) through the sale of greeting cards. This was a good collaboration with the LAA. Andy gave a recap on the Olde Town Swing Band Concert on December 12. It was suggested that we increase the senior/junior price from $6 to $8 to make it more equitable. Fate Nepon and Bob Schlesinger will perform on Friday, January 16, and former board member Barb LeBlanc is organizing a concert with Scott Vonn and Reed Foehl on Feb 13. Andy is planning the Jayme Stone Quartet concert on March 20, and Julie and Maryan are planning the Choosing June show on May 8. The summer concert series was discussed and it was agree to have four concerts on June 18,25,9, and 16. The budget will be $3600. Jim P. volunteered to help Andy out with the shows. Julie K. talked about having a summer film series, possibly at Steinbaugh Pavillion. Don A. talked about plans for the Ppetry Slam with the Youth Advisory Board.
