 Oh, there's Robin. Good. Robin's half here. There she is. Okay, well let's call the meeting to order. And we should begin with the approval of the minutes of the meeting of February 10. Do I have a motion to a motion to approve the minutes of February 10. Thank you, Jenny. Is there a second second. Okay, so we need to do a roll call. How do I keep losing my roll call. Okay. Julian. Yes. Gigi. Yes. Cole. Yes. Matt. Yes. Jenny. Yes. Arthur. Yes. Saundra's not here. Robin. Yes. And Rachel. Yes. Thank you so much. Well, I guess the most. I won't say the most important thing, but. We have this request from the. Porter Huntington. I always get that wrong. Porter Phelps Huntington Museum to change the use of their grant. And the museum list. Does not think they'll be able to have their Wednesday afternoon performances. And she's outlined. Some use for the $1,000 grant. To use the funds to expand research. Well, also the time into local history, including enslaved and indigenous. In the past of this site in conjunction with an underrepresented communities, national park services grant. And also to continue to organize, describe and house new archival collections. And there she'll hire up to six summer interns to take on the processing and research. And she'd like to use the grant to support. Basically this research and archival work. I think this is going to be the first of a number of programs that we're going to be talking about. And we're going to be talking about. The most. Grants, sadly. But are there any comments about this? Or actually we should start. Do I have a motion to approve this? I. I'm not sure the language, but I'll. Yes. Approve the change of purpose of the grant. Yeah. And a second. Okay. So now we can discuss. Sounds great. I think it sounds amazing. Yeah. It's probably a better use of our money than. Yeah. Wednesday. Yes. Research money to do the very same thing. So. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is there anybody who's feeling that it's not a good idea? Oh, Nandi. Hi. We see you now. No further discussion. Did they not have an outdoor program last year? No, they didn't. No, they didn't. No, they didn't. No, they didn't. They, they, we, they were actually, they were about the only institution who said, you know, we're going broke. We can't raise money through our normal. Fundraising. Can we just use it to support operations? And that was covered by that massive. Do anything you want. We want you to get any. Outlook. So yeah, this will be the second year without that program, but. Yeah. I think this is a great idea. And so, okay. Are we ready to vote on it? So all in favor of the change and purpose of the grant. Julianne. Me. Yes. Cole. Yes. Matt. Yes. Jenny. Yes, Arthur. Yes. Robin. Thank you. That, that's terrific. Let's see. We have. We need to talk about the GoFundMe campaign language. Yep. And so Jenny. Do you want to talk to this? I know you have to leave in a few minutes, but yeah. Okay, set up a GoFundMe page today. It's super easy to do. And when you go searching for us, you get a front page with an image. And right now there's a logo for us. And then a blurb that explains what you're raising money for and a little bit about your organization and how it helps people. The language that was sent to you is what that little blurb is. And so, currently, this is set up with my name to, and I don't have to attach an account to it yet. But anything that anybody puts into it goes into a hopper at GoFundMe. And when you want to get the money out, you attach it to an account and then you can get the money out. So what I have, what I have ready to go is a savings account that's attached to my checking account that's got nothing in it. It has $5 just to keep it open. So when it's time for that money to be given to the ACC or the town, I can pull that money, have them write me a check and have it written to the town of Amherst. So you can do this. Anybody can open a GoFundMe account on behalf of anyone. Any organization, we're not linked up as a 503C because we're not listed specifically ACC isn't listed as a 503C. So our tax number is a general number for the town. So it's not in there. But that money then can go to the cultural council. So we can do that. That's my understanding. Of course, there's nothing in it. It's not attached to an account at all at this point. So it can be taken down immediately or we can keep it. Jenny, I just want to confirm that you use the ACC email address to set it up. I did. And so right now I'm going to have to get, so Cindy's going to give me the access to that. I think it's also really easy just to, so I made a clever little password for it. So whoever takes over that when I'm gone can change the name on it and can do whatever they need to. You know, my name doesn't have to stick to it and they can switch it over to there. Like our Facebook page designer who took off and left. So I'm going to give that to you. Take the money and run. So has this been approved by the town accounting department? Yeah, I already, I thought it was okay. So that's okay. They don't mind having the money go to individual. No, that's, that's all been approved. The one piece that I wanted to bring up is that I was talking to Holly again and anybody who does donate. The town will not send letters about tax deduction. So the ACC has to handle that. And, and get all of that makes all that paperwork. Yeah, our donations to the town tax deductible. Yes. Yes. You would know Matt. And is there a threshold like if somebody gives you 50 cents, you got to send a letter and put a stamp on that or. Maybe we should email it to them. Yeah. Or is it like literally, you know, five bucks and everybody's got to get a letter just to do it. If we passed a hat at like a Pecha Kucha night, we wouldn't know where the money's coming from. But they're probably not asking for a tax or CD though. They're just giving you. They're just giving you a donation. I mean, when was the last time you asked for a donation after putting $5 in the hat. Yeah. I think we did agree on though, in terms of this, and if people make a bigger, you know, send a check or whatever. Oh yeah, just keep a list. And, you know, once a year, we would take that list and send out the letter. So there's no, like there's no ongoing, you know, correspondence. Do we, we'll just have to find out what that letter looks like and do we have to give them a tax ID or anything like that or just, it's just a receipt saying. You know, for, for gifts of less than $200, I believe the threshold is donors don't have to present very much in the way of. Okay. Confirmation but it's a courtesy to send out a thank you. And I'd say actually I know it's a lot is some work. But doing it close to the time that the gift comes in is really a good thing to do. I know one organization in Amherst used to wait until the end of the fiscal year or something and that really irked people. It's hard to wait 10 months for a thank you for. Yeah. Anyway, that it's only about the thank you note or tax receipt because they're, they're the two are the same. You just say no goods or services. Well, and I think, yeah, I think a thank you note needs to go out. But it has to have that funny little sense. I can, I have some of those to copy from. And one of the reasons for sending it close to time and the donation is that the fiscal year and the tax year don't necessarily coincide. Right. So the other question, the other question I had Jenny or anybody who knows is, are there fees associated with this account. And if so, like how did how did they do, how did they charge fees or is it absorbed somehow on the back end. They ask for people who are contributing money to contribute and that's how they make that money so they don't be the charity doesn't have any fees associated with it. You mean the go fund me page or whatever there's no like administrative fee of whoever's processing the. That's right. That's right they make their money on the tips. Yeah, I paid a fee the last time I did a go fund me. It's not too good. It's automatic I think they ask you for it or a lot of places do now. Yeah, prompt but I'm on the page right now and you can just say zero. Oh, you can't zero. But then it probably comes from, then they'll probably deduct it from the recipient. No, no, that you, you, you, you make a, an additional gift, you know you can add $2 to cover. Go fund me costs is what they ask for those tips I think. Arthur you had a. Oh, I wasn't raising my hand but yeah I do actually, as far as like thank you notes are concerned what I'm one I've never used go fund me but like, I imagine they probably have something where it's like automated so when you make a donation it just sends out a hopefully customizable thank you message. That'd be nice. I was thinking of that because then customize the language to generate and then also to notify somebody at ACC that this donation has been made, right, whether it's a notification. Yeah, that's turned off on so whenever someone. Yeah, sunset it goes to the ACC email. Hey, I got kind of just good information for everyone operating anything in town it sounds like we're not going to go the end of the year form letter route, but everybody should be aware that Amherst colleges print shop has a fantastic service for sending out bulk mail it really discounted prices, even if you're just sending 100 letters and they maintain your mailing list, and they're incredibly recently priced and really easy to work with. So just everybody should be aware that sort of paper mailing right. Yeah, yeah, but they but they maintain and scrub your your mailing list so when people move. They do a great job and just everybody should know that, even so you can just tell other people. So that's an Amherst college mailing service for anybody. Yeah, that would be great Cindy for the historical society, you should absolutely be using them. I don't know what else you're using but they're fantastic. Yeah, the library uses that a lot if they're fantastic. Oh, that's good to know. You masses closing. Great. Well, I will look into that some more. I started reading through things anyway just because I was trying to figure out how the withdrawal works, but there's a lot of, you know, a lot of information about stuff so I'll find out if there's anything that we need to know more. So do we do we, does it matter to us as a council whether these acknowledgement thank you notes are going out by email or on paper. Is that something we need to establish or not. I think it's easier just to do it by email. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I think anything over, you know, $200 might rate a postage stamp. Yeah. That's a threshold. You know I think you know, but, well I think we should be good to know what we're going to do because, like, yeah, if it goes out by email people can print it out themselves. Yeah, right, exactly. So, yeah, that's precisely. And that's that really has become the norm with donations. Do you want to just see what we get you know for getting larger donations we can case by case like if it does. Yeah. I mean problems we would like to have. Yeah, I wonder if Jenny in the, in the letter, or the blurb. Yeah. Providing additional funding for services to improve accessibility is. I mean, do you have any, I mean, I think that should be beefed up because in a way that's one of the things that started this and. Exactly. If. Yeah, we can. I mean, you know, to provide signing services or closed captioning, I mean I think some concrete ideas might make it more persuasive. So, where are people going to see this, then donate. So we are going to have to send it out to people we're going to have to share this. We can put it on Facebook, but yeah, it's no one is going to see it, unless they go to the site and they, they go looking for it at this point. Our state rep would be happy to put this out to put this out. Mindy, Mindy Dom. Yep. Posted about it on Facebook and I can tag her and Joe come referred me. They just sent me emails about donations that I think members here did and there's an option to send a thank you right from that email. So I'll get, I'll get Jenny hooked up to, to that email account so you can manage all that. Okay, thank you. Okay. So the point is that it does say fundraiser by Jenny and yeah, we changed over to. We could say the council. Yeah. For your sake, Jenny. Yeah. And people might think it's one of these, oh, I'm stuck abroad and I need $5,000 in my checking account immediately. Also, I think you should have the MCC logo on this. Okay. Yeah, I really, I think we should. And add MCC logo. See, I'm even wearing their colors tonight. I have and coral. Do we have permission to use that freely. We not only have permission, we are obligated. Basically, yeah. Okay, good. I had one other question for the group. Yeah. Well, are we all set on this? I think this is great. And thank you. Jenny for, and Cindy for looking into this and. The, the accessibility subcommittee put language together. And you can go back and we can beef up that section about accessibility. And then it's good from there. Do you think. Oh, I think, yeah, I think it's great. Thank you so much, Jenny, for getting to go in and Cindy. You're very welcome. And, and. Leah and others really got the language. Yeah. Started. So I think it was great. I've been harassing people for months now to get this thing up and running. And thank you for your patience and listening and, and for. For getting it there. I'm excited because. As the accessibility work starts to roll out and we, start thinking about, you know, Another go. Another go at some press attention and other things. You know, we should, we should be doing this. Right. My question for the group. Is. Wait a minute. It's slipped out of my mind, but it was a good one. So bear with me for a second. Relax. Why are you trying to remember your question, Matt? I was just curious whether in the language or in the, as the page appears right now, is there a four inquiries contact? It's a good idea. Or somebody's email or. I don't know if there's any way, but. Yeah. Yeah. Should it, should it use the Google email address that we have? Which means it goes to Cindy. Yeah, it'll. It is forwarded to me. It's the town email. And I'm going to hook up. Jenny so that she can. Get into it. And any, I mean, I can. Anybody who wants to get in, I can let anybody in. I just wanted to quickly mention is that I'm still waiting for permission to put a link to it from the. Towns agricultural council website. But as soon as that goes through, I'll, I'll put the link up right here as well. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Now Jenny's going to have to leave. So she's taken the first half of the meeting minutes. And your note taker is going to go away too. So. So I've got the notes up to now. Okay. I also, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to the opening. For the artifacts at the end of a decade show that, that you all funded that we all funded. And I looked through. There's both an in person, which of course no one, unless you're on campus can see. There's a physical show. And then there's an online tour that's really great. So the tour actually walks you physically through the space. And then the, the curators have gone. Art piece by art piece by art piece and put little in bits of information, videos, music, links, everything. So it's just, it took me probably an hour to go through the whole thing. Wow. Just full of really great information. Was that, was that part added because of the pandemic, Jenny? We, yes, it was. This show was supposed to open last spring, but it got shut down. You know, we got it like the halfway installed and then we had to shut it down. So they had all this extra time and put this, we had a lot of people who were just on campus and like, you know, they weren't there, you know, they were just all the other students who were two graduate students. They put this virtual tour together and it's just, it's so great. And they worked with the. The editor who put this, this portfolio together in New York. Who was also doing something similar. So he was able to give them more videos, actual interviews from artists. So Betsy Johnson. of a of a fashion show from 1981 that is just so 1980. Oh, cool. Well, you it's really rough and everything, but it's just it's it's wild. It just feels like you're in a in a nightclub in in New York in 1981. So I remember my question before you leave, Jenny. Oh, OK. Thank you. Would you send a link to that? That sounds awesome. Yeah, I can do that. I can do that. It's it's really can we can we send a reminder out to the awardees with a deadline to fill out the survey because we've had two people completed and you didn't put a deadline on that. Right. As soon as we get our annual report completed, we can pull out the email addresses that we need. We can't do that until that's done, which is depending on Holly, but I think it's all set. And I'll talk to you about it. She needs information. OK, you know what we're going to do is take one quick vote right now, which is to transfer the five thousand. What how much was it, Robin? A thousand fifty five, something like that. So it's. I know how well the change is fine. That's the twenty nineteen money. Yes. OK. So could I have a motion to transfer the leftover money from fiscal year twenty nineteen to the current budget? Thank you. Do I have a second? Second, a second. This allows us to spend that five thousand plus and it brings us. It means that the everything will balance and then we can finish the annual report and then we can get the addresses. OK, OK, that's why we need. But I think we need an official vote. OK, you want to. Yeah, all in favor, Julianne. Yes, me. Yes, Cole. Yes, Matt. Yes, Jenny. Yes, Arthur. Yes, Robin. Yes, and Rachel. Yes, and just quickly, the. Accessibility, I mean, the virtual component also as the accessibility criteria, doesn't it? I mean, this is kind of a separate discussion, but I just wanted to mention that before it does. Right. And it's accessible. Yeah, exactly. Right. It has all links on the images with descriptions. So and and also because of the virtual format makes it more accessible in other ways. Yeah, OK. I have more information about that, too, but I can share that with the Accessibility Committee because UMass is doing that. We have somebody in the Fine Arts Center that does that for us, which is awesome. Thank you for the question. All right, I was going to I'm going to run away. If that's OK, I'll take I'll take notes and great show. OK, thank you. Bye. Thank you. Thanks, Jenny. OK, Leia. Um, I was linked as a contact person for one of the accessibility people reaching out to us, one of the grantees. And I was wondering if I'm supposed to reach out first or if we're just waiting for people to reach out with questions and then answer the questions. So I just did that today. We only had those two come in and I hadn't done anything. And I thought, well, we're meeting and I don't want to be embarrassed in front of everybody. So I'm going to make the make the outreach now. I think we can hold off a little bit on on that until we get more more names in there. But I figured let's just start making initial contacts and see if they ask us any questions. OK, so wait, thank you. But I think we should probably meet the subcommittee should meet again, you know, after the reminder goes out, once we have a more full list of grantees. Yeah, the so the annual report is due on March 1st. So we'll get that list early next week. OK, so maybe we tentatively want to. I don't know. We can email figuring out a date for the next subcommittee. But right. And when I send out, well, do you want to with someone on the Accessibility Committee like to send out the message to the grantees? Yeah, yeah, I'd be happy to. OK, so I'll send you the list. And then you can get your own deadline and get the right contacts to return it to, et cetera. Yeah, that'd be great, because then we can kind of set up our next meeting. Yeah, after that deadline and we can sort of. Right, it's just cool to have anybody responding and yeah, it's a conversation. Well, I watched another program from Historic Deerfield last night, and it was just great to, you know, see the closed captioning. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I watch everything with closed captioning. If I can't. Yeah. We watch television with closed captioning. So what the heck? Do you have anything else to report from the Accessibility Committee that Matt was asking something? Oh, I was just saying that the website that Robin shared is so cool. I mean, it really is the realtors. Yeah, well, right. But that sheet, the whole suite of different accessibility, ways of reading, text, et cetera. And all of it was pretty. Yeah, it's pretty great. It's really well done. Yeah, I think no, I mean, we're just we're just kind of getting our our thoughts together for the actual, you know, work with the artists. Right. And and collecting resources, too. I think that's something we're doing now. We kind of talked about whether this subcommittee would need to continue to exist as a but Cindy confirmed that we have to treat it like an open meeting. Unfortunately, I don't know why I asked what I asked. And then, you know, when you ask a question, you're going to get an answer. Yep. So but that's that's OK. So I think we'll continue to need to meet for a couple of months just to make sure that we are able to keep the ball moving forward. But I guess the one thing that the general group might want to know is that we did put a question in the survey about if folks would be interested in some kind of a convening around accessibility towards, you know, towards the end of this calendar year or next year. And so far, people are, you know, the two people who we answered both said, you know, either yes or tell me more. We have no idea, literally no idea what that would be other than I mean, frankly, if we if we put it far enough in the future, they I've been noticed to them can be the ones who, you know, share their experiences with doing the work. So, you know, it's I think it's a lot of sort of exploring was possible. It's what we're doing. Well, it might be a good, you know, who knows if we'll be ever able to meet again publicly. I'm getting very depressed, but anyway, we'll see. Um, but it would be a good, you know, good afternoon program or early evening program, you know, at the library just to get people just to get the people who receive the grants together to talk about it and have one or two representatives of, you know, vendors to come and talk about what's possible and yeah, that kind of thing. We could get other other groups to come and do this too. I mean, not just, yeah. Right, that reminds me of the other question that I wanted to ask Robin or anybody, but Robin had mentioned wanting to reach out to the disability access committee and maybe maybe we want to invite one of them to come to our next subcommittee meeting because the one thing that nags at me is that we we're doing this work, but we, you know, we really want the disability community to be yeah, you know, well represented in the, you know, in the work as early as possible. Right. OK, well, I'll I'll contact that person and see what's going on because one of the other things is like the the website that I sent or the website that she uses really the town should be using, which what it does is it allows the website itself to be accessible on all different levels from seizure protection to larger print to adjusting the color of the print. I mean, there are just so many options and you know, I think town a town website should be accessible. You're so right. And we're not going to bring that message. They are. So that's a really good point. Yeah, and it's the message. So when it's like Gigi and I are on the cultural district and there is going to be hopefully a concert in June and also also to the exhibits of all these artists who were part of a contest and so I grew up that the concert needs to be signed and everybody was. Yeah, it does. And then the window exhibits are also going to. You'll be able to go to a website and they will all be described. So that's and so the cultural district is is the BID and or at least this one. No, it's it's not it's there are the BID is the kind of contracting agency that runs it runs the finances. It's an MCC project. Right. And but this project is was the bid and the chamber. No, it's the ACCD. Just OK. All right. I thought it was so so this and also along that line. I didn't know if our high schoolers were interested in assisting in stage managing it. Oh, what a good idea. I don't know if any of you have any of that experience or if you would like to learn stage craft. I have a conflict. So and sweetie, who's absolutely wonderful will be stage managing it. Oh, so you can't come on the you won't be there in June. Not on the 26th. I have a virtual wedding. Oh, if we have a rain day, then it's the next day, which was the original day. Right. Yeah, yeah. I can do it. I know I have an actual conflict. I'm amazed. Which would be great if we could get Nandi and Leia and Sydney to help. If if you guys are interested in doing that or learning it or whatever. And it's a few months away. So yeah, but I just thought I mean, I it's yeah, I mean, it's definitely something that, you know, you need to do in order to learn it. Or you could go to college and get a degree in it, actually. But I think just doing it is the way to learn it. That's really cool. Only to see if it interferes with dance, but I definitely check it out. It's yeah, it would be like a Saturday afternoon, June 20th, six, six. And it will be later in the afternoon because we're going to do it after the farmers market. Right. And everything is, you know, right, being a part in all of that. So yeah, we'll send out a message to the three and actually, I mean, anyone can and anybody else actually, they do need help. And if you want, if you're looking for more high school people, I could try to put that like on my story. I don't know. Because if it's not government, I don't know if I'd be allowed to do that, but to try to reach out to other people who might be interested. Actually, a few people that do stagecraft for the school plays. I think yeah, exactly. Yeah, I know that a lot of high school students have worked in that. For one to a huge like tech community at Amherst, like there's almost more tech use than actual actors. Huh, really? Yeah, it's really crazy. Well, strange. Yeah, it's theater, though. I mean, if you're in theater, you're in theater, so. Yes, you're here. Rachel, do you have a question? I have a question, actually, is whether or not we have a target time frame or date to determine how to spend the money we've just voted on accessibility measures? Like is it what I mean? Is it going to be project or organization specific? Like, do we need to vote on individual grants for accessibility purposes? Or is it just kind of this lump sum we're going to use? And we don't need to vote separately on how it's going to be used for specific programs or events. Or so I just I'm just raising the general question as to whether or not there is a time frame for that or a. Format that's already been determined in case I've missed something in the past. I don't think. Yeah, we voted the funds for accessibility generally at our last meeting. So I don't think there's any any need for further votes on that. So just however we choose to like. OK. Yeah, I mean, I think the simple and the thought was that the ACC or the. Would take care of the bookkeeping in so that the applicant wouldn't have to pay the vendor that we would take care of that through. So what is the approval process for getting the accessibility measures? Is it just kind of people have an initiative like I want to do this? And then we just give them money to do that. Yeah, that's the process. Rachel, we. The subcommittee will work with each individual artist. The way that we're gathering their information is through a survey. And so, you know, we asked them first, which type of accessibility support are you interested in? And we have a list of vendors and hourly rates that that we've kind of found on the back end. And so they we asked them to start the conversation. What, you know, what supports do you think might be appropriate? Just with the two that came in, you know, one of them seemed very on the nose. The other one, I think maybe didn't quite understand, you know, how this how the kinds of supports would work. So in that case, Leah happens to be the sort of person. We just decided that we would sort of case manage individually as they came in. But so like the person who's going to liaise with that artist will say to him, you know, we're glad you're doing this Zoom presentation. It's something that might benefit from sign language interpreting or, you know, one of our other services, you know, once that artist gets up, gives us a date and time, we will then we, meaning ACC people, will reach out to the interpreting service and give them the date and the time and set up the payment, you know, invoicing through the ultimately, it's going to go through the town, of course. But, you know, we'll be the intermediary in terms of getting that invoice. And so the artist, we did talk about, you know, giving the artist extra money, Mina Kim suggested giving the artist extra money to do to do it on their on their end, which maybe someday in the future, we can talk about that as, as, you know, a way that they can simply put that into their request and then we can give it to them. But for this first year, where we're so unsure of ourselves, we felt it was best. I mean, frankly, we can get more bang for the buck. If we have eight people who are doing, you know, the same kind of service, we can get we can get an arrangement with some of these vendors to do it that way. So, I mean, I think, I think in answer to your question, the the ACC gave us this sort of general approval to use that initial 2,500 as we as, you know, as we best could see fit as a subcommittee without having to kind of come back to the full council for each for each decision. OK, so basically the subcommittee will be the ones to determine how much each applicant who's interested in providing accessibility gets right from that. Well, the application doesn't provide the accessibility. We have, you know, we the subcommittee will use vendors and pay vendors to provide supports to to the artists. Right. So so that so it will be up to the subcommittee. But then I guess that then the subcommittee needs to continue to. Yeah, yeah, you can't back out after two. Through the cycle, then I guess that's the implication, right? Well, I mean, it's. Uh, if if what you're suggesting is that we need to continue to meet, yes. And like I said, once we have that once we have that survey out and the deadlines closed, the subcommittee will meet. Yeah, I see. I was just curious what the, you know, what the process is, because I'm not on the subcommittee. So thank you for explaining that. And I think, yeah, and I think in the future, I think what we'll try to work with. Mina and Linda Simmons, who's the head of the local cultural council. I think they just need to add a line on their application. Right. Accessibility funding. And that should go to all of the councils, not just us. Right. Yeah. I mean, that's that's really the dream is to start a larger, you know, larger conversation about it. The challenge still still lies in terms of like, you know, an individual artist may not may just not have the, you know, resources or may not just may not know where to go. So, you know, I think we'll still continue to need to bridge people towards resources in future years. But but I agree completely, it's it's a. It's a first a first step and then and then to actually ask them, you know, on next year's grand cycle, even when they're they're willing to do that, I think would be an amazing step. I have to go. OK, nice to see you. Bye. Bye. Yeah. I think our high schools are more. They have busier than they have busier lives. Better believe they're busy. So I think for the time being, we're pretty well set. We'll get I'll get the list to Matt. He can send out the notice with a good deadline and then they can start allocating away. OK, so when I contact the town's disability access officer or whatever the person's called, what should I talk to this person about coming to our next meeting and just working with them in terms of working with the subcommittee? Yeah. Sure. OK. Because I feel like I feel like it would be better if we did this sooner because I don't I'm worried if we get into something where we have like this thing and then someone comes along and is like, it might be more helpful to do it this way. I don't want to have gone too far and then have to like do stuff. Agreed. Agreed. And that's why so we're going to have the annual report on March 1st. Yeah. Of the list by, you know, by then, maybe we can give people a two, you know, a one week deadline, ten day deadline or something right through that. So we could set the deadline at March 12th and plan to have our subcommittee meet the week of the 15th. And and I, you know, I really think having the town's disability access group weigh in, you know, would be would be well. I agree with you. This is their area of expertise. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear that we're doing it. Yeah. Oh, I think so. And I think, though, the there should be a separate conversation and not necessarily at the disability or the accessibility committee's request, but. Robin, sharing that again, back to the Realtors website with our with the Amherst website manager. Yeah, well, I, yeah, Rihanna Sird, Sirdney, I think her name is Oh, OK, does she decide what? No, but she should know she should see this and see what a great thing it is. And then let her let her deal with. Getting the 20 how to how to boot up the how to how to improve the. Website, I don't think that's. Tim, just dump it into her lap. OK, so her it's the webmaster and I'll send you her email. OK. We don't need to do that now. And Matt, do you have you lined up? Vendors, like I need to find the signers for this concert. I was actually going to contact Northampton first night to see who they used. And Klondike, which is sound there in Greenfield, who. I've just I've worked. Festivals and stuff where they do the sound and there are also signers and that they may have a contact just to start with. Yeah, they're also services that place signers, although what I've seen so far is in there for like medical and hospitals that you call them not for this. But there's a lot of stuff out there. Yeah, my recommendation for signing is if it's a if it's spoken only to go through the mass commission for the deaf, because they will immediately steer you towards your local people. So it's kind of and you'll probably have the best, you know, some kind of a state rate, probably. So kind of the best bang for the buck for the musical thing. I did include a link to what I think is probably the best resource I could find. It's called the Learning Center for the Deaf Learning Center for the Deaf. And I'll send you the link, Robin, but they were wonderful. When I reached out to them, they immediately responded and said, we have five or six people who specialize in musical interpretation. Oh, good. I was very I just a performance on its own. It really is. And it can be really beautiful. Well, like we said last time, I mean, the goal is to it's like to us as a performance, but they feel that they're purely interpreting. You know, so it's such an interesting, I don't know what science are somewhere between the two. But I'll send that to you, Robin. Okay, well, it sounds like this is getting off to a wonderful start. And I just want to thank you all for doing this. Is there any other new business we need to discuss? Well, now the awards are out. You know, we do continue to talk about the more the broader artists showcase. And we don't need to talk about it right now, but yeah, put that on the agenda for our next meeting. Absolutely. That'll be great. Are we going to meet again? Oh, we will meet again. Probably late March. Is Thursday night good for people or not? It's not so great for the dancers. Is it? It's five o'clock better than five 30. Six o'clock is so much better for me. If we can if we can do six. Six. I can do six. Okay, we could do. Cindy, can you do six? So we're looking at Thursday, March. 25th. Six p.m. At six p.m. And the main topic will be the showcase. What is the showcase? It's going to be our grantees, Robin. We need to kind of get it separate from what the ACCD is doing. Right. So it's ours. And I think we should do it later in the summer so that it doesn't get put under the rug with the cultural. It was great. I just miss that we would do this. But yeah, I think later is better. I'm not sure the 25th is going to happen. And we'll see how the 25th. Yeah, but so we'll talk about that next time. And that gives us more than enough time. At the same time, when we talk about that next time, is it okay to just give some feedback about how the assessment process went this time in terms of like the. Oh, right. We need the forms that we need. Yeah, absolutely. I would love to be able to, I don't know if Julianne's available, but like, you know, when we get to that point, maybe come up with something that would be even easier for people to use, because I created a template blind, basically. But so now that we've all been through at least once, to get people's input on how to create a more comprehensive template going forward. So I don't know if that's appropriate for the March meeting too. Yep. No, that'll be fine. Okay. Good. I want to apologize that I did not send anything to Pecha Kucha for the love thing. They didn't get my radishes? I did. I only got yours. And for a moment I thought, oh, I'll just put stuff together from my own phone and Gigi's. It's hard. Then I went for my entire photo library and I just didn't have anything I wanted. I really did put some time into it. I just couldn't. Thank you. I'm sorry. I cut up. I sliced my favorite lavender radishes and made a heart out of it. Lavender radishes. That's awesome. The other thing was the last thing I wanted to do was put any more pressure on Gigi while she's wrapping up the book. But yeah, I mean, I did my best. I got you three things, actually. You were great. Yeah, you were a large chunk of the presentation, but I didn't think the rest of it should just be me. It's okay. Leah, did you do the story, speaking of homework assignments, did we do the story on Instagram? Which story? Which story? Like you were going to do an Instagram story with those photos that we sent you. I was going to. We got, like, I think half the photos. I can text Sydney about it and we could try to get together and just using what we have. We have to blur the photos. Yeah, because we can try to get those out before we start announcing grants, like publicly online. Yeah. That's right. The timing is actually better to wait. So that's, that's fine. Just curious because I was like, oh, wait a minute. I did do some, I did some homework, just not all of it. Yeah, I did. I did mine. And then once some, sorry, once Matt's photo goes out on Instagram, we're going to get a lot of grants. I'm really trying to, trying to turn it. That'll be great. Okay. Thank you. So will adjourn? Yes. Okay. Thank you all for coming. We'll be in touch. And I'm going to send you a reminder to do your online training for conflict of interest, which. Oh, shoot. Oh, it is really. Takes about an hour. Yeah. I did it, but I don't know how to do the printing, but I can figure that out. And you can't work ahead. You have to go through all the steps. Oh, what I did was I took a photo of the certificate and then I just forwarded to our, Oh, good. Whoever it was supposed to be forwarded to. Yeah, to the town clerk. Yeah. Oh, look at the dog. Oh, it's a heart. Sweetheart. Yeah. Leah, just save it as a PDF and then email it in. That's how you do. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, everyone. Okay. We're all going to adjourn. I'm not going to do a real call though. Everyone. Okay. Bye bye. Take care. So Gigi, I probably will. Yeah. Okay. I'm still here. So Holly.
