WCC May 7, 2012 Steering Committee Meeting

The minutes of the April 13, 2012 meeting were read and approved by the board.
 
Committee reports:
 
Beautification
Some of the benches have been placed on Main St. sidewalks. Plants to come.
The Lions Club applied for and will receive trees to honor 4 local people. 3 are deceased Lions members, and the fourth will honor LaDonna Fallon, who was the driving force in our downtown beautification through Horizons and WCC. LaDonna passed away this spring. The 4 trees are good sized trees and will be planted in Lions Park. This is part of a national tree planting project by the Lions.
Plant watering: the city is looking into the ban on using golf carts and 3 wheelers in town. This may interfere with Tuesday and weekend plant watering by WCC members.
 
Financial Report  
Jane has requested that some of the profits from the Chamber's Wine Tasting, being held on Wed., May 9, be given to WCC for flowers. Their plan for the profits is for downtown beautification. The city will pay for watering the plants.
The Community Patio has been cleaned and there is new mulch coming.
The city will give $600.00 to the Sakatah Arts Experience, and $1000.00 to the summer activity program developed by Lynne.
 
Friends of the Library
The FOL has been receiving donations from local businesses and individuals. An article will be written for the paper to acknowledge these donations, and they plan a reception at some future date at the library. Sat. June 2 will be the first day for Saturday hours, 9-12, at the library and the donations will help pay the librarian's salary for working on Saturdays.
 
Kaleidescope Institute
The local group will host a meeting with the state group in Waterville on May 19.
 
Sakatah Arts Experience 
The SAE is looking forward to receiving a $1200.00 grant from Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council. 80% of the money will be paid before the event, and the balance after a report about the event has been sent to the council.
