Criss is still working on the committee descriptions. Bob Leonard is out of the state due to family needs and may be gone for up to six months. We will need someone to take over his grant coordination duties.
Brock told of the upcoming April 2 Golden Leaf Foundation meeting for Clay County and that this first meeting will be a “listening meeting” with other meetings to follow.
Tiger discussed the Blue Ridge Natural Heritage (BRNH) grant, which still has $3,000. A report of the accounting is due in April and a final report in May. He has requested an extension on the deadline, but it will need a BRNH board approval and the board doesn’t meet until June. Further discussion followed on what monies has been used from the grant.
Natalie Moses asked for feedback on the recent newsletter and inquired about all the emails that are duplicated, i.e., between the CCCRA, Clay County Chamber, BRNH, Handmade, etc. Moses will coordinate with Beverly Adkins and Helen Firor to get the emails organized.
