time that we can reimburse them, >> right? So, um, >> they had to turn it all in by January 20. January 28th, I believe the date was. >> I wonder if they even did their >> They may not have done that. >> They might not even have done it. >> No. >> Who knows?

>> no you should you should add it uh 996 to 1700 to the 996 >> oh I thought it was 9676 Sorry. Yes. 9676. >> Okay. So, if we take the 11 376 and take
the 445 reserve. >> No, no, no. I already took that's already been removed. The administration fees are already moved. >> Okay. >> Oh, and that's how we got the 9676. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, we can disregard that whole
445 in a way because you already did that. >> Yeah, we that's automatic. >> So, that is minus the 445. So we have 11376. >> So we have 1176 admin. >> Awesome. >> Okay. >> So did you guys do the preliminary? >> They haven't done anything.

>> I look at that. I'll just so I'm just giving my input and then everybody give their but um I looked at that and they didn't have uh a venue. No >> or any I don't even know if they had a date obviously. So I was thinking no on
that and >> because there's no venue and no >> there's there's a lot with no venues. >> Yeah. >> And that that's something they have to acquire on their own. >> Requested that. >> Yeah. We usually request that right and it's on our mission. I did update our
mission statement this year. >> Oh. >> Um and it says right on there, venue required and you know. >> Yeah. Because we can't do that. So >> yeah. >> All right. So that's a no. >> So at this point we'll say no >> and tell them to reapply when they have a
>> a venue. And there's loads of >> Well, we have a lot of money. So I I think based on the things some of these we were saying um some of us that they've already happened. side, >> you know. So, um, so those people are
nos because they obviously did and they didn't need our money. So, >> yeah. So, >> well, we were so late getting to get into it, but >> crazy year. Okay. So, num this is >> number three. They had a proposed venue of Kingston Public Library.
>> There's no supporting letter. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Then there I see supporting letters on anything. Did you? We had we have a supporting letter on one of them. >> I didn't see any of those, but >> we have she actually mailed us >> for the from the rec center. >> Oh, good.
>> So, >> Oh, okay. >> You know, and to me, >> she took the extra time to mail me the the signed contract she had with the rec department. So, good. >> And we'll So, we'll talk about her. She's >> down. Also, this was like I thought I had saw this was a Middleboro venue.
>> No, >> no, it's Kingston Public Library. >> Okay. And she said a weekend afternoon or evening April April 25th. So >> I mean >> she should she should speak to the she should speak to the library and see if
that's something she can do. >> This is the >> another year. >> Yeah. >> Oh, okay. >> Emily Hale. >> Okay. So, we're gonna say maybe >> right now we'll just say no and then we can also go back and revisit as we go
through them all. Okay. >> Because I don't want to. >> Okay. Well, >> yeah. And then the next one, author Todd Public Library. >> That sounded really good. >> Center March 25th >> and they have it all set up. >> Yeah, I think it's Yes.
>> Okay. >> Women's History Month is >> March. >> They had they had a proposed March of 2025. Now, I don't know if it took place. Oh, >> I have been looking at I I've been looking at some of the library signs,
but I I just don't remember. >> Okay. >> So, >> um Okay. And then the next one, Andrew Lewis and friends present songs and stories from the singer songwriters 19. That sounded interesting for the counseling on aging. >> It says working with counseling on
aging. No supporting. >> It doesn't say yes. So, >> you know, so >> I I don't know. Most of these people do not send supporting letters. >> I know it. >> But usually, >> but you know, so I think if they know
that it gets approved, then they I mean, we could since we're in this situation where we want to get things. >> Yeah. >> Maybe say yes. And if they don't submit, we know they didn't do it. >> But at this time, he's applied to Hullbrook, Brockton, and Mansfield. So he has applied to
>> to other places but he also didn't I mean you don't even know if he spoke to >> Kingston public library >> the council >> agent >> I mean >> I like that it it dealt with seniors >> we didn't
1975 >> yeah it sounds good to me >> so do we want to say yes >> maybe I think yes because I think we're going to have to approve some of these if we're going to take advantage of our funing The only thing is is if if the council of aging already has their programs in place or whatever,
>> right? >> You know, >> but how far out did they find? >> Yeah. So that we're not doing for these this other >> what >> we're not doing it for the other No. >> I I know. But I think because um we have
>> because it's geared towards seniors. So, >> well, it's skew twistiness, but also in terms of the venue thing this year, it seems like we have um some things that, you know, probably they're not going to fund. And if we're going to spend our
monies, our aotment, we're going to have to make a little give a little wiggle room here to some of these people, I think. >> So, now the next one is Rachel Maguire. Is she at the um >> at the high school? That's what I thought. >> She's very good. So the next one is is for the silver light on that.
>> Yeah, definitely a so on the other one we're going to put a yes maybe >> on the senior one. >> Yeah. >> Okay, we'll review. Okay, so then >> so the next one is the project they said they want to take place at um the Kingston collection.

if they had gone to the schools that would be >> I mean I would think that's kind of appropriate. >> Yeah. Because one of them actually one of them was on bullying which would be really good. Yeah. So yeah. So, I mean, I'm I saying no on this one, but
>> how do you feel? I know we denied him last year. >> And which I mean, the only I just think >> we denied him because he didn't have a venue. I mean, he should have gotten a venue, >> right? >> Spoken to someone for
