I. Of the 10K grant we received in 2014, we have contributed the first $5000.00 to the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship. As their construction proceeds, we will continue working with them on choosing and installing sound enhancement equipment

II. Three NERFA Reports from 2015 have been posted in the Folk Project Back Office. The reports are from Barrett, Elizabeth, and Sandie. These three reports are our way of saying thank you Folk Project for subsidizing our time at NERFA in 2015! And please consider future subsidies as time, personnel, and money permit. To view these reports, follow: F.P.Back Office > February > Board Meeting Minutes > Minutes for 2016 > Prez Report/Written Report, and the three PDF links are at the bottom of the report. Enjoy...

III. We will be moving ahead to clarify Board policy on two important issues - 1) Whether our Membership Nights should be reserved just for member performers, or whether these nights should be open to include non-member performers, and 2) As an organization are we committed to observing BMI and ASCAP payment requirements.
