Portola Valley Cultural Arts Committee approves St. Patrick’s limerick reading and $100 refreshment budget
Summary
The committee voted to hold a limerick reading around St. Patrick’s Day and approved a $100 budget for refreshments; location and exact date to be set by a committee member and communications to be managed with town review.
The Portola Valley Cultural Arts Committee voted on March 10 to hold a St. Patrick’s Day–themed limerick reading and approved $100 for refreshments. A member moved to put the event on the calendar; another member seconded and the motion carried. The event’s location and the precise date will be determined by Sue, who will also follow up on logistics.
Why it matters: The committee is launching a small community event designed to encourage participation and in-person readings; the $100 allocation covers light refreshments and does not create ongoing obligations beyond this single event.
During discussion, members debated whether the contest would include prizes or only feature readings and a small gathering with Irish coffees and cookies. The committee clarified the $100 is for food/refreshments and not a cash prize. A member asked who would accept submissions; members agreed submissions can be routed to the committee’s website manager, Stacy, who will collect entries and forward them to the committee. The chair said the town must review any external-facing content before the committee activates submission links.
On next steps, the committee assigned Sue to confirm a location and asked Stacy to prepare language for the online submission form and to provide it to the chair for town review. The committee approved the motion and the budget; precise vote tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
