<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:'Arial Narrow'">Did your organization submit an arts funding application? </span><span style="font-family:'Arial Narrow'">If so, consider attending the next meeting of the Commission on Cultural Affairs, Monday, June 11, in the community room of the Walton Building, 300 S. Providence Road, when Commissioners will be reviewing the applications. The regular meeting will begin at 4:15 p.m. and the funding portion will not start until 5 p.m. It is open to the public and is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the process. Applicants are encouraged to attend. While the minutes of the meeting will be available after the fact, sitting in on the meeting will prove to be much more informative as you implement your projects and formulate future proposals. Public comment does not occur at the meeting – audience members are observers only so that no organization is allowed to “testify” or lobby. The Commission’s July 9 meeting will include an opportunity for organizations to make public comment.</span></p>
