</p>
<p class="" style="text-align:justify"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Did your
organization submit an arts funding application? If so, consider attending
the next meeting of the Commission on Cultural Affairs, Monday, June 10, 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 before 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 meeting on July 8 will include
an opportunity for organizations to make public comment.</font></p>
