And always call ahead because they may be booked and you have to pay them with a check or cash. They do not do any

23
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:33.919
sort of convenience factor anyway. >> Yeah. >> Um trying to think. Today's the 15th, right? 2. I was just trying to think. April 22nd. What day of the week is that?

26
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:20.160
Yeah. I mean, you know, you can only do what we can do, but it it would be cool if we had some pictures. I'm sure she'll probably post some pictures or something too, but um okay, so that's it for attendee or events

27
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:37.599
um grantee events. Um then item number five is the Little Town in Bloom followup um on installation. I mean it's it's done. How did everybody feel like it went? Like what would you any lessons

28
00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:53.520
for next year? any like my lesson is to bring my drill originally, so I have to go home for it. But does anybody have any? Um I um brought my two grandchildren's flowers and then I

29
00:07:53.520 --> 00:08:10.080
couldn't find my daughters, so Juliana gave me another flower with colored. I had reached out to Ry asking if they threw anything out cuz being four, hers wasn't the most colorful. Um, but she did another one and we put it up

30
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:28.000
on the same I went and put it up on the same stick that her brother's was on so it' be easier to find. >> But thank you to everybody who helped with that. >> Of course. And it was actually Karen who had given me I think they were left over

31
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:46.399
from Eloquin. So it was fortunate that we had an extra flower. So happy happy that your grandmother was able to make some more art. Yeah, she was uh she was happy. So, by the way, I got a text from Mark Rambacher

32
00:08:46.399 --> 00:09:02.959
>> who said that Chuck was very upset that we used the bark by the veterans section, which if you remember, we were only told last year that we had to go put the flowers there away from all the grass to put it in the bark mulch

33
00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:19.279
because they don't refresh that until the end of May to do their Memorial Day stuff. So I reminded him of that and he said, "You know, I remember that now." So it was a very peculiar text and I'm going to see

34
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:35.760
him on Thursday, so I'll have the conversation. But >> it's interesting that such a joyous thing seems to cause so much chaos. >> So would next year >> I feel like we >> Oh, sorry. I was just going to say because I feel like we had this problem

35
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:51.200
last year and I almost feel like we might need to get this in writing because I feel like We did. >> Oh, I never saw it. >> I have it in writing exactly what was happening and how it was going to be approved and all of the things. So, >> yeah, >> I'll chat with Chuck and just say, you

36
00:09:51.200 --> 00:10:08.160
know, we already cleared this, >> right? Okay, good. Yeah, I >> compete with any of the veteran stuff because it's facing the other way. You walk down the path to see the veteran stuff and their names like the other way and they're thinking kind of brings attention to the names like I was gonna

37
00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:23.839
say >> it's bringing people to the comment to look at those. Exactly. And making everything more visible and pretty, right? Like I think it may be just one personal opinion and we shouldn't pay much attention to that other than yes having that conversation and clearing it

38
00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:39.120
out but it shouldn't weigh on you know like take >> Yeah. grain of salt anything from Exactly. >> Yeah. We happy to move it across the street like even other places. Yeah. >> I thought you guys would and be amused

39
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:55.519
because we just we did all the shuffling last year. So the fact that then it was again I thought really anyway >> well maybe next year when we talk to the select board we make sure that we include that piece like hey >> next year he's not going to be up for

40
00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:12.160
reelection so maybe he will have less to say or I don't know maybe he'll have more time and he'll have more to say I don't know but >> he'll protest outside our flowers. Yeah it's right. Yeah. Do we have a date to pull them out? Because we'll need to do it about a week before that veteran that

41
00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:27.680
Memorial Day >> priing that they always do. So, >> I think we did put a shell into our timeline. >> Yeah, we did say like second week of May and then I had said I would find out. We wanted to get them down whichever came first either before the Memorial Day or

42
00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:43.600
the senior signs. >> Seniors, right? >> Yeah. So, for personal reasons, I'm also trying to find out about the senior signs. Um, and I haven't had any luck because it's it's usually run I guess by a parent from the senior class and since my son goes to Nishoba um I've reached

43
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:59.760
out to several people just because sometimes the Nshoba kids and kids who go to different schools don't get included in that and so I really wanted to make sure they did. So I've reached out to say hey I'm happy to be the liazison for all the Nshoba kids like I'll get you all their names but I can't find out who the actual >> and I saw somebody from Parker having

44
00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:15.680
that same conversation. Yes, >> there is drying, right? >> Yeah. So, maybe we'll see. I just saw an email from Nohoba today about the u there's like a separate one where they put like balloons on your mailbox or and signs in your yard and that's actually done from Westford, but they include all

45
00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:32.480
the Nohoba kids no matter what town they go that they're from. >> That's nice. >> Uh which is really nice of the Westford Education Fund. Thank you, Wes. Um but uh so I'm hoping that maybe that might spurn oh what about this? You know, like we might start to see more of that information. So, I'll update you when I find out about that.

46
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:49.200
>> Cool. Uh, and maybe if you do talk to Chuck, like just sort of remind him like, hey, this is when we're going to take it down because I also because I remember last year they just sort of took them down willy-nilly and then I I we my husband and I went over and got them from like the front lawn of the DPW.

47
00:12:49.200 --> 00:13:05.200
>> Yeah. >> And it'd be nice to last year I had to pluck them all out, but I think the year before that they just >> Yeah, that was kind of the mowing. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. it would it's been it's been contentious and we're trying to make it be nice. So, I don't want to be in everybody's craw, right? I just want to

48
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:20.560
be I thought it was really cool and people keep saying, "Oh my gosh, that was so cool." So, >> yeah, >> I don't know. Maybe we just do it along the pathway and maybe we get them to mulch that. I don't know. >> I feel like we went and asked and this

49
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:35.279
is what we were told. So, I also think they need to >> be better at communicating the conversation. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Instead of just probably yesing it and not ever thinking about it again until they actually appeared, you know, which I I kind of feel like with, you know, on recording I'll say is not on

50
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:51.360
us. >> I'd kind of challenge him if they said that you can't do it there. Why not? Right. Right. >> Like why not? Come on. It's >> good point. Absolutely. I I agree with you 100%. Right. >> Like

51
00:13:51.360 --> 00:14:08.160
We're not disparaging veterans with our flowers, right? >> Punching back a little bit there, but it's like, come on. Like, really? Come on. >> Yeah, because I don't I agree. I don't think it's disrespectful to the memorial or And and as we said, I think it enhances that whole situation and brings more people in. And I'm sure I highly

52
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:23.360
doubt that there's anyone who's looking at the flowers that's not thinking, hey, what is this? Let me look at it. >> Exactly. >> So, like, let's work together. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. And I I think I mean if we were posting them on the memorial, that would be one thing if we're like putting

53
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:39.440
stickers on it or something, but it's around. >> Yeah. Or like covering it so you can't read it or see it. Yeah. But I I Yeah, that's frustrating. But >> agree. Good times. >> I know. Well, anyway, I just wanted to say thank thank you to all you guys. You got there um and just really everything

54
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:56.160
was so organized and it made it go like so smoothly. and Ray, like you did such a great job with um all of the the green like stakes in the ground that had to be done. Kim, you did such a good job of organizing over the area and the idea of putting the two flowers on the two. It's

55
00:14:56.160 --> 00:15:12.639
really like everything just went really smoothly. So, I thought you guys >> nice year. It was so much easier this year than trying to completely figure everything out right now. >> You would have been proud of me. I brought my screws and my gun down. Yes. You did awesome, too. You were awesome.

56
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:29.040
>> No, but I mean when I went to put Liv's second one up, >> right? Oh, the second time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> My husband goes, "Let me do it." I said, "No, you don't." No. I'm >> didn't spin this time. Yeah. >> Get out of here. I got my gun. >> I love that. >> That's perfect.

57
00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:45.279
>> I apologize. I couldn't make it. Sometimes the weekend's gonna be tough for me. >> Yeah. That's like Yeah. >> Yes. I was all singing somewhere in Burlington, I think. >> Exactly. Um, so all right. So, basically, we just need to find out what

58
00:15:45.279 --> 00:16:00.880
weekend works for the inst uh deinstallation. Um, the removal of the flowers. Um, and maybe we can just meet again early in the morning. So, Kim, you don't have to do all the work this time. Um, I know like May gets crazy with like

59
00:16:00.880 --> 00:16:16.079
graduations and all. or maybe that's more June, but um the second weekend in May is of course Mother's Day. Um so I don't know how legit that would be, how that how realistic it be for Mother's Day as

60
00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:31.759
>> Yeah, I agree. I kind of think like the the 16th or the 23rd or like one of those weekends would >> Well, that's the 23rd is Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day weekend. You're right. >> I think we're going to have to get it out of there by then. >> It's not It's not the 30th. Memorial Day

61
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:46.959
is not the 30th. Oh, interesting. Week before. Yeah. Got it. Okay. >> We have it on the 16th and I am not going to be available on the 16th. So, I'm so sorry, but >> you go. Off when you off would you go.

62
00:16:46.959 --> 00:17:01.839
>> We can either do it uh the 16th or the 17th and or we could do it on an off day. Whatever you guys think. >> Um what's what do we think? Should we put something is is is a lot of people going to be

63
00:17:01.839 --> 00:17:17.520
around May 16th looking at your calendars early morning like do like a nine or a 10. >> I guess 9 o' >> all right. I again >> can't commit to anything like that this early if it's at that time. Like I have

64
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:33.120
to sort of be a past 11 kind of girly, but I'm happy to >> if I'm there. If I'm here, I will, but if I'm not if I don't have a funeral. Um >> Okay. >> But I'm happy to do anything. Or I could take some the night before or something like what are we I um

65
00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:48.400
>> Yeah, storing them at Kim's or what are we because Kim's cycling off. So >> Kim's done. Yeah, that's right. So maybe we should figure that out now, too. I have more room at my place that's not really being used. I don't know if I have enough room for them all, but I

66
00:17:48.400 --> 00:18:04.480
might if I have maybe a person who can come back with me and help me load them up into my shed. >> What do you have a tip on how the best way to store them is? >> So, you know, we we just stack them flat to flat and if the if there isn't

67
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:20.400
anything on the backside, then we stack those together. But we had two big like 55gallon drums and so we put them in that to get started and then we just leaned everything against it cuz then it was rough enough to handle leaning. So

68
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:38.320
that worked really well. We did we didn't even have to go upside down. Like at first we thought we'd do some upside down and some right side up and that didn't seem to matter much. So they stayed right where we put them. So, it was easier than we thought.

69
00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:54.160
>> I actually have a small loft area in one of my I have two sheds on my property. One of them has a small loft area and I literally just lay them flat on their side. >> There you go. >> They just stayed there all winter and got them down and we we put them there was one or two where I was debating like that look good enough that you would put

70
00:18:54.160 --> 00:19:09.600
it back out and my kids convinced me that they should all go back out. So, we put them all back out. Um but very few had really faded at all actually. Um, they were all still in very good shape. So, we did put them all back out this year. We didn't get rid of any.

71
00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:27.919
>> So, that like for me it was just I stacked them up in my loft and there was plenty of space. So, I'm I'm open to that if that's >> Thank you so much for offering your space. >> Yeah, that's great. Thank you. Okay. It could probably work for a year, but if

72
00:19:27.919 --> 00:19:42.320
we keep getting if we keep adding the way we're adding, then I'd say this might be the last year that I would have that enough space and then somebody else will need to step up next year. >> Yep. You know, >> which is a wonderful, wonderful problem because it it keeps getting bigger and

73
00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:59.039
more beautiful, but um it'll I probably will be out of space after this year, especially if I'm taking all of them. >> All right, that makes sense. Okay. So, if we end up getting so much more next year, we can figure out a second person to store them. But for now, Ry, you are

74
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:15.440
the keeper of the flowers for 2026. As long as you're cool with that. And then um like uninstall, deinstall. Um we'll be are other people able to come on the 16th or do we want to make it another day

75
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:30.240
that's more convenient? Ray, are you available? Like Julian, are you available? I don't have my kids soccer schedule and I know my my husband might be out of town. I don't have it for that date yet. So far I don't have anything. So hopefully I will be able to make it

76
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:45.360
but it will just depend on what you know but hopefully. >> So the 15th, 16th, 17th is the middle school play. >> Yeah. >> Which doesn't make it impossible if especially if it were 16th in the morning. It would just make it a busy

77
00:20:45.360 --> 00:21:02.400
weekend. Yeah, that's a that's actually a very busy day for me, but not till the afternoon. Um, >> focus for like early in the morning. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think take down's going to be a whole

78
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:17.919
heck of a lot easier >> or for sure. >> All right. Well, >> I probably do need another car driver. If I could just get at least one other person who has the ability to just shove some in the back of their car and then we can both caravan to my place

79
00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:34.320
and put them up in the loft together. >> I got I got my Highlander, I could probably do it. Um, >> great. >> So, you and I and then I'll just circle at the end of the email. Uh, sorry. Oh my god, I cannot talk today. I I cannot talk. I keep using words that don't make any sense. The other day I was putting

80
00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:51.440
my daughter's hair up and I said I meant to tell her that her hair had a bump in it and I said the word piano. While I was doing that, I was like, "Am I having a stroke right now?" Like, what is happening? It keeps happening. So, I'm sorry. Anyway, I have my Highlander on the 16th. I will help you. Want to do

81
00:21:51.440 --> 00:22:08.880
9:00 a.m. and then I'll shoot an email to everybody afterwards like in the whole thing to see if people can meet up to help us so that it won't take us super long. >> Um, and then I have to go plug my computer in. So, I'm going to put myself on mute for two seconds. Talk amongst

82
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:23.679
yourself. I I actually am going to have to drop early. I neglected to mention that at the top of the meeting, but I have a 7:45 appointment that I have to head out for. So, I think we're at a good enough spot in the agenda that we've gotten for them and have made any critical

83
00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:41.120
decisions. Is that fair to say? >> I can't I reimbursements we just can we scan those receipts and send them to you? They're >> scan. Scan and send. >> Okay. >> Yep. Scan and send to me. >> All right. Thanks. Bye, Ray.

84
00:22:41.120 --> 00:22:58.080
>> Okay. Thanks, guys. Talk to you soon. >> Yep. Bye. >> Okay. All right. So, closing the Little Town in Bloom. Um, membership updates. Um, >> yeah. So, I went through the document of

85
00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:15.039
everybody's terms >> and I don't know why I didn't realize that Sarah, Melissa, Jen, and Kathy are all also up to for their first term. So, I think and again, I don't know if you want to make a decision now or let us know, but uh so those are the people and

86
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:29.760
I think from Reverend Jen's email, it looks like she I guess we can get her to confirm, but it sounds like she's not planning to >> Yeah. >> reup um so we would have another um like a second opening.

87
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:46.320
I think she even said if >> somebody knew somebody that could step in for her the next couple of months, she'd be fine. >> If we should reach back out to um Oh gosh, I'm blanking on her name. >> Is it Maria Davis?

88
00:23:46.320 --> 00:24:01.679
>> I I can see her email address, which is not like her name. And so I was like, I'm like reading the email address and then trying to download the name in my brain. Yes, Maria Davis. Thank you. Um who had >> a rare thing. We should write that down that I came up with that. >> You came up with it.

89
00:24:01.679 --> 00:24:17.279
>> Oh man. Um and she had come to that one meeting as like an exploratory and then she actually filled out the full application which is with the town. So I don't know if she'd have to do that again or if it would be like because technically she might be still coming in. >> So um she might be one we could reach out to.

90
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:34.159
>> Yeah. And see if she wants to start because she seemed really gung-ho. So I I I hope she hasn't lost her interest. But um because we did sort I think we told her the spring so maybe that'll be so I mean I I have been going back and forth with her. So I'll just maybe find that email thread and pop back on it and

91
00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:50.799
say you know hey we've got somebody who is leaving and if she wanted to like if she felt like she was ready to go now and and Jen felt fine with that then we could do that now or we could wait till July. >> Yeah that's great. I think that's great. Okay. So, let's hope that Maria is like,

92
00:24:50.799 --> 00:25:08.159
"Yes, I'm going to replace somebody and then we'll only have one other big hold in Kim, right?" Um, I I'm going to stay on for the next term. >> It'll be quieter. >> Not true. >> I missed what you said, >> Kim. You're leaving.

93
00:25:08.159 --> 00:25:25.520
>> It'll She said it'll be quieter. >> Oh, >> yeah. Kim Kim's on her second term, so she can't She has to leave for at least a year and then she can't come. >> They're kicking her out. kicking and screaming. >> They'll be back someday. >> There's so many people beating down on

94
00:25:25.520 --> 00:25:41.279
it. >> Even if we don't find anyone, there's no exceptions to that rule, >> right? >> No, that's state rule. Yeah. You can only have two terms uh and then you have to go off for one year, but you've been on for six. Yeah, that's like a state thing. >> Okay.

95
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:57.919
>> Yes. So, um Yeah. So yeah, but I mean what whatever happens obviously we'll have to think about recruitment um because we you know I think we originally thought uh Maria would replace Kim but now with Jen we will need another person you know.

96
00:25:57.919 --> 00:26:12.559
>> Is there anybody else who used to be on the cultural counselor who had to leave because they had too many terms and is now outside of that space who might want to re apply. Actually, I was thought thinking about like Carrie uh Carrie

97
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:30.720
Donahghue now McKan. Um she Yeah, she might want to >> which is now Kelly, >> which is No, she's not changing her name again. >> I don't think she changed it to Shelly, but Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. But now Shelly technically. Yeah. But she told me she was like, I'm not changing my name again. We're >> honestly same. Um

98
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:44.960
>> uh yeah, she's somebody we could reach out to. I don't know about if Julia would want to come back, you know, our former chair. Um >> Oh, yeah. So, she she's been off for did she do two full terms? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Off for a year. >> Um

99
00:26:44.960 --> 00:27:02.960
>> Kim is older and she is still around town. She's an architect, landscape architect that did a lot of it like >> So, >> yeah. Um, I can go back into the drive and see like previous

100
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:19.919
member lists and maybe um maybe what I can send that out to everybody. >> Yeah. Or I can what I was thinking is I'd send it out to all of us and if you know those people it sometimes that personal reach out is better than like a generic email like you know. Great. >> And so if you know somebody um then we

101
00:27:19.919 --> 00:27:35.679
could do that. I mean I thought about Jean but I don't know if she really has the >> if she wants to come back on. I mean, she's clearly still sort of engaged because she sent us that email and whatever. So, I don't know if she'd want to come back on. Jane Bracken. Yeah, I know she's got >> Yeah, she turns 80 tomorrow, as a matter

102
00:27:35.679 --> 00:27:50.400
of fact. >> Oh my gosh. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. She's had some health things over the last >> I know her from our church, but she >> I'm sure she would want to come back on or not, but she seems like she's still like very engaged in the whole thing.

103
00:27:50.400 --> 00:28:06.880
But, um, >> yeah, that's a great idea, though. go back into the coffers. >> Yep. I think we should do that. Do you mind taking that on, Kiki? >> Yeah, I think I can just I'm sure it's all right in the drive here for anyone from before my time, I'll try to find their info. And that's what I was

104
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:22.799
saying. I'll send it to everybody and if you know someone or we could like divvy it up to say like, oh, this is I'll contact this person or whatever. >> Perfect. Um, I think we also just need to find out. I don't know if we should email her, but we probably need to just find out from Sarah. Um, if she's planning

105
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:40.000
>> to return and Kathy, are you planning to return? >> Yes. >> Okay, great. So, we just need to know about We know about Jen, we just need to know about Sarah. So, if we need one or two because I also don't want to be like, let's email 20 people and it's like, oh, what's that? Sorry. >> Do you want me to shoot an email to Sarah and ask her if she uh wants to

106
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:56.399
continue for her next cycle? >> Yeah, I think that's fine. I mean, and I think she, you know, she could probably let us know even in a month. I don't know if she has to decide like right now. Yeah. Because they have until June. >> I also have a question. Has anybody done like their You've done your second term reup, right? Do you have to do anything? Do I have to reapply or is it like just

107
00:28:56.399 --> 00:29:12.799
carried over? >> Perfect. Yeah. You >> Oh, go ahead. >> I Well, if you were going to talk, I'll talk after. Oh, I was just going to say I know when I did mine, I just emailed the town clerk email address and just said, you know, hi, I'm on the cultural council and I'm planning my term is

108
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:27.360
expiring and I'm planning on uh taking on a second term. And we I didn't have to really do anything, >> right? Okay. >> I think I don't know. I think maybe they do vote on your name like at the select board again for the next term. Uh but you don't have to like show up or anything, but I think so you would have

109
00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:43.520
to just sort of let Diane Corey know. >> Okay. Um, you can email either her directly or there's just that town clerk at Littleton, you know, email address. >> Yes. Yes. Okay, perfect. Just don't make any enemies of the select board before the meeting so that they don't they vote

110
00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:58.080
against you. Got it. >> Be gentle on Mark when I see him on Thursday. >> Excellent. Excellent. >> No, my question was those um test not test but

111
00:29:58.080 --> 00:30:13.600
the I can't think of the name of it now. My brain shutting down. >> Kathy, you and I, we have the brain problem. >> Yeah. See, >> that state thing you had to do. >> Yeah. We don't have to give copies to anybody. Just I have them. Yeah. Okay.

112
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:28.720
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> They probably know if you don't do them more so than you did, right? >> I know. >> Okay. So, we found one replacement. We need All right. You're going to dig into the old reserves. see if anybody wants

113
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:44.720
to come back on or at least tell us who those people are and then we can know if we know them we can give them a little nudge and if not >> I'm happy to post and say you know some something about you know what I'm I gotta go >> my time is up who wants to take my place

114
00:30:44.720 --> 00:31:00.880
>> yeah you have a lot of contacts in the town Kim that would be awesome like if you do it either on your personal page or on like a >> lot of it seems to be there's a lot of crafters and creators in the true >> senior So, I'll be there Thursday. So, I'll see

115
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:17.600
>> maybe we could do a flyer if you if somebody wants to do I think you have one >> flyer from >> Yeah, I'll just update it. Um, I'll just take it, >> right? Send it over to us and I'm happy to print that and take it with me on Thursday.

116
00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:34.039
>> Perfect. >> Can we put one in the library? >> Yeah, I'll be there on Thursday as well. Oddly, >> you're touring. Yeah. >> Awesome. I have new

117
00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:50.559
>> I was trying to say I don't know if I'll have the updated one that quickly because the current one has like dates on it and it says this many people and it has a >> Thursday also. >> Okay. Yeah, I just have like a really crazy uh week at work. But if I can if it's a quick fix, I can update it quick.

118
00:31:50.559 --> 00:32:08.159
I'll send it out. >> It doesn't matter. Um, okay. Kiki will send a list. I'm just I'm gonna mute because I'm talking to myself like Okay. She's really just saying Kiki will do everything, guys. Don't worry about it. Like usual. No, I'm kidding. I'm

119
00:32:08.159 --> 00:32:25.200
kidding. Um, okay. So, membership updates, blah, blah, blah. Who's returning? Recruiting. Okay, that it looks like we got through that. Um, Kiki's making her notes. And once we get that list of people, it sounds like we can just kind of pick and choose who we want to contact. And if nobody knows

120
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:41.679
those people personally, we'll just send a generic email from our um generic email account address and hopefully they'll we'll get a response. And if not, we'll send that out to the general public. If you guys know anybody um you know, certainly pass that information along as well.

121
00:32:41.679 --> 00:32:57.919
Um, okay. So, the seventh item is about the Mass Cultural Council. I don't know if you guys are getting these updates, but essentially if you've like registered with them, you're getting these automatic emails every so often

122
00:32:57.919 --> 00:33:16.159
that will um offer webinars and tips and um all kinds of newsletter stuff. I I frankly haven't I'm probably have a backlog of about two or three that I have not read to be honest. Um so I'm assuming that this item

123
00:33:16.159 --> 00:33:30.960
refers to >> No is there >> no this I this refers to what uh the liaison was talking about at our last meeting that he was going to be pulling together for his uh people that he's a liaison for. he was going to be pulling

124
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:46.640
together like a webinar and so I put it on there as like old business just to keep it into our brains but I haven't gotten that info from him yet. So it's just sort of a like old business carryover remember that that's going to maybe be coming. >> Okay, perfect. I was like I really have

125
00:33:46.640 --> 00:34:03.440
not been reading them. >> It's not those. Um yeah, it's the um it's the uh it's something he said he was going to do from when he came and talked to us and stuff. Yeah, but it's going to be about the FY27 cycle because he was saying I can't

126
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:17.200
remember everything, but didn't he say something like there's going to be some changes and he was gonna offer these like tips and tricks on like all the new whatever the new things were going to be. So, >> which like reminds me when do we start our grant cycle in earnest like for 2027

127
00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:34.720
in AP? Is it August or is it September? >> It's usually like September 1st. >> Okay. Okay. Good. Yeah. So, but for our purposes, we have to update that guidelines thing in August. So, usually in the summer, we do that little survey and but there's no rule that says we

128
00:34:34.720 --> 00:34:50.879
have to do the survey. I mean, I kind of feel like, you know, we could maybe just decide, hey, we'll keep the same ones or whatever, but it's nice to have something to inform it. So, I don't know. But I think that a lot of that's going to come together with like, >> are we going to do third Thursdays in the summer? Because that was kind of the

129
00:34:50.879 --> 00:35:06.640
main way that we were getting people to do the surveys. So, I feel like it's maybe a little too early for us to kind of get into the nitty-gritty on that, but >> um yeah, but I I would say like, you know, that first deadline is usually like August 26 or seven. >> Yeah. For that guidelines thing. And

130
00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:24.079
then the grant cycle opens August or sorry, September 1st and goes usually through like October >> is for them to apply. >> And then we have until January to do whatever we're going to do. And I do like even though like I know it's a pain, I feel like the community survey is like so good like because it really I

131
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:39.599
don't know justifies like okay we're actually doing stuff that parts of the community are voting on and things like that. Um so maybe one of our objectives is to get >> how to get more people to fill it out. Yeah, exactly. And maybe we you know could reach out to parks and wreck or

132
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:54.960
something and ask them to put it on stuff. I don't know. We could >> Yeah, that's >> you could add that to a future agenda like how to boost more people getting I mean every year we do get more >> you we could probably put an ad in the senior center brochure and oh my

133
00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:10.800
goodness they love to do that. >> They love >> Yeah. And it's like I have tried to uh and maybe you would have better luck. I've I have submitted something to the broadcaster. I've submitted things to the newsletter. I fill out the form and it never goes in and I keep emailing them to say, "Hey, am I missing

134
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:26.079
something here?" >> It has to be done. It's like eight weeks ahead of time. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I fill it out. I've probably done the newsletter at least 12 times and nothing's ever gone in. Yeah. >> Who do you send it to? >> It's an online form that you fill out. >> I don't know. I I kind of get the

135
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:42.880
feeling, and I guess maybe this is like kind of what I do with my church bulletin. It's like if I have room, I put it in. But I kind of I talked to Diane Corey a little bit about it because I said, "Hey, we're like a a board in the town. I feel like we deserve I'm not saying we need a whole page, right? >> But like, you know, there's an awful lot

136
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:58.880
of like, you know, news about the zoning board or whatever. We're not saying >> there's a new gal there. There's a new gal there and maybe she's our newsletter. She's it it looks different and new and prettier, so maybe there will be a place for that. keeps getting

137
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:14.400
bigger and so it keeps getting more expensive and so I think that's also part of the challenge is >> digital though >> well >> the town newsletter >> you would think that the senior one would be digital as well but they print

138
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:29.599
it and everybody would like their own copy thank you >> I get that for that age group I totally understand and I think like we can obviously table this and talk about it at a future session but hey maybe one of the events that we sponsor we have somebody attend who has this a physical

139
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:46.160
copy of the survey for the seniors or you you know you know hand them out or something print them out and bring them back and enter the information. I don't know if that would work but um you know we could we could think about that another way to reach the >> audience we can just put it on their little here's what's new thing be willing to do

140
00:37:46.160 --> 00:38:03.520
that. >> Yeah I go on Wednesdays and play cribage. So yeah >> cribage that's a fun one. >> Yeah. So, we can talk about that like maybe it'll maybe add that to the agenda for a future meeting. Just think about ways to um uh change or up participation

141
00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:19.119
of the community survey. Um we can all think about that and then um and then I guess we should probably read that same bullet point that you made Kiki for the for the um liaison. um

142
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:34.640
just check in and see if he's planning on giving us that webinar for the 27. Um >> yeah, >> it's probably gonna be sometime in the summer or something. So, >> for sure. Yeah. Yeah, >> we can. Yeah, we can even skip next month and put it for June or something

143
00:38:34.640 --> 00:38:51.200
and if it comes up before then add it in, you know, ad hoc or something. Um and then the last item is just other business. Uh, does anybody have anything else that they like wanted to say? >> What about the thing from Jean? >> That's what I was gonna

144
00:38:51.200 --> 00:39:07.440
>> Yeah, that was the only thing. And that was a mural, right, that she was thinking of. So, >> one of the teachers, >> will you read it to us um or or like give us a summary of what's what she was um emailing because I did read it, but it was like a week a couple days ago, I

145
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:26.720
think. >> Hold please. >> Holding. Thanks, Kim. >> Yeah, I think she was looking to see if we wanted to apply for this, >> right? >> Um >> giving us an opportunity, right?

146
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:44.000
>> Something to do with like at the housing, you know, it was like a create creative place funding thing and it was like, did you want to uh you know, get a permanent public art installation for one of the ones we had done previously at that Pine Tree Park?

147
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:58.640
But >> she's talking about the the so Jonathan Allen who was a teacher at the high school has been wanting to do a mural for a long time and then the idea is to use Native American and you know all of the Nishoba Indians and all that sort of

148
00:39:58.640 --> 00:40:14.880
thing. Um, and if that could be tied into this thing that they're trying to do, it would be a collaboration of schools, housing authority, c cultural council, and anybody else we could drag in is her words. Um,

149
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:31.119
and she just she said she's happy to be a cheerleader, but she really can't tackle it. >> Are they looking for funding for that? >> So, it's it's going to >> apply for it's a grant. It's a grant called the creative make place. could apply for >> that we would apply for the grant and

150
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:48.000
then we would drive this mural to be painted there. >> I just think how much fun we had figuring out Little Town in Bloom and the the rocks at the labyrinth. Would we like to do another project?

151
00:40:48.000 --> 00:41:02.640
There we go. Well, also say that it says on here, I didn't read this entirely, but it says interested people should plan to attend the webinar on April 7th, which is right. >> So, I kind of think we maybe missed the boat.

152
00:41:02.640 --> 00:41:17.839
>> Yes, she said it was gone. She said she attended it, but I think really if you guys are interested, let's just call her and see what she knows. Maybe she has >> want to ask her to attend the next meeting.

153
00:41:17.839 --> 00:41:34.880
That's a good idea. See if she wants to. >> Will that be too late, do you think? Or >> I would just I would Yeah. I mean, maybe we can reach out to her to ask her if she has because the thing she sent doesn't really say like is there a deadline to apply? Like what's going on? >> You seem like an enthusiastic

154
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:51.599
um suggestion to do something with no information. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. >> See her in church on Sunday. >> Okay. talk to her after church >> in person instead of a phone call. >> That would be great.

155
00:41:51.599 --> 00:42:07.520
>> Okay. >> Yeah. And just ask her like when like what exactly does it sounds like we need to apply for a grant, but when's the deadline and would she want to like, you know, attend our next meeting potentially if if we think this is something is this something that we want

156
00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:21.680
to do? Um I mean it sounds lovely. It sounds I would love to be a part of something like that. Uh I don't without really knowing any of the details and how much work that would be for us. I know Sarah has a lot of um

157
00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:38.800
like um experience with applying for grants and stuff like that. So she might be >> uh helpful to advise on whether how much leg work that is for us. >> Um so I can >> I can shoot her an email with what Jean sent over and just say, "Hey, what do

158
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:54.880
you think on this is going to be a lot of work for us?" Um, when I ask her if she's upping re-uping her term, >> yeah, it looks like the email Gan forwarded should have had an attachment with it that had all when I'm reading it now that had all the details. So, I don't know if Jean could even just like resend

159
00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:09.359
>> with the attachment and then we could at least get the info, I suppose. >> Yeah, that'd be great. Um, Kathy want Jean, >> it sounds like it. She ask her if the an attachment came with the email and if

160
00:43:09.359 --> 00:43:24.720
so, can she reforward because we didn't we didn't get it. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, please see the attached document for further details. >> And you don't have it, right? Because you did it come to you first, Kim? >> Yeah. She sent it to me and Kim and Ray,

161
00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:41.920
but it's not there's no email because it was a con it was a constant contact. So, I think sometimes you have to press the forward button, not actually forward the email. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. But it's weird that there's no way to like there's nothing to click on to like get the information. >> Right. Right. Okay. Cool. So Kathy's

162
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:57.359
gonna be in charge of that. Thank you, Kathy. >> Um and then >> potentially shoot us an email with what she responds and then we can either add her to the next agenda or not. If she's if our deadline is would be too late,

163
00:43:57.359 --> 00:44:15.359
you know, um then we might just want to pass. But >> okay, now if I can read my own writing, >> that's the hardest part. >> Well, it was light when we started and

164
00:44:15.359 --> 00:44:31.680

I brought her by herself. So yeah, I feel like I've been from one place to the But thank goodness it was all in town. So very doable, just a bit crazy. >> That's hilarious. I know. I feel like that's just like the story of every mom, right? Like you just described like
