Miami Lakes committee schedules Black History Month concert Feb. 28 with $3,000 cap pending venue approval
Summary
Committee voted to schedule a Black History Month choral concert for Feb. 28 (7:30 p.m.) at the United Methodist Church or university venue, with a budget not to exceed $3,000 plus venue fees, subject to church confirmation.
The Miami Lakes Community Advisory Committee voted on Jan. 14 to schedule a Black History Month choral concert for Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m., with costs not to exceed $3,000, pending confirmation from the United Methodist Church (or alternate university venue).
Committee members discussed prior event budgets and expressed concern about covering food, venue rental and other costs. The chair said the committee would give the choral group a maximum available payment of $3,000 and would seek sponsors for additional expenses; church rental and catering were treated as separate costs that could be billed in addition to the $3,000 cap.
Members emphasized the need to publicize the event more widely than in past years and to secure sponsorships to cover food and other incidentals. The motion passed by voice vote after discussion about venue availability and fundraising tasks. Members directed staff to contact the venue and the choral group immediately to confirm availability and fees.
