President

Two issues that unfortunately won’t be happening this year:

1. Grant Writer - Our hopes for a grant writer actively working to secure us grants for the year 2016 have not happened. Discussions are underway exploring other possibilities for future grant Champions - stay tuned for developments.

2. Earlier this year the Board was talking about an active membership outreach to local colleges and their students. Several interesting ideas were presented and discussed, but no specific moves were made to implement them. This is an area we may want to re-visit in the future.

The 10K Grant disposition will be reported on at our November meeting. A lot of work behind the scenes has go into managing this issue, with many benefits for both the Folk Project and our landlord MUUF.
