Call to Order: The meeting commenced at 6:06.

Committee Membership Status Updates: We will wait until June to recruit more members since the Committee will be relatively inactive until that time.

Approval of Minutes: Deferred to the next meeting.

MBLC Grant: Harold drove the MBLC grant to Boston on Wednesday - thank you, Harold! Eliza will save as much of the Grant as possible into one document which can be made into a PDF.
Harold submitted the documentation to the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
CPC Grant: Harold will see how they want to consider our application since we will find out about the MBLC grant between town meetings.
USDA Grant: Harold will send a letter to the Board of Selectman letting them know that we will not apply for a USDA grant for a joint Library/Museum project since they instructed us not to pursue any museum funding.

Joint Meeting with the Library Foundation: Scheduled for February 24th at 7PM.
