Carlisle Cultural Council approves Music Festival fundraiser plans, names fundraiser chair
Summary
The council approved planning steps and modest funding for a March 14 Music Festival fundraiser, authorized up to $1,200 for event expenses, approved an annual $10 domain purchase for carlislemusicfestival.org, and appointed Dan Lennon to chair fundraiser efforts.
At its Jan. 23, 2026 meeting the Carlisle Cultural Council approved logistical and modest budget items for a Music Festival fundraiser scheduled for March 14 at FRS.
The minutes record that entertainment will be provided by Two Acre Minimum and that the council proposed three suggested donation tiers — $25 for adults, $18 for seniors 65 and older, and $15 for students. The planning notes include outreach to farmers market vendors for refreshments, Jenn Albanese taking responsibility for artwork for lawn signs and social posts, and John Golden sharing fundraiser information with his email list.
Council member Dan Lennon moved to approve a recommended fundraiser budget of up to $1,200; Council member Jenn Albanese seconded the motion, which the minutes record as approved. The minutes likewise record a motion by Lennon to authorize annual payment for the domain carlislemusicfestival.org at a cost of $10 (motion seconded by Laurelyn Roberts) and that the motion was approved.
Diane Staheli volunteered to create the festival website, and the council noted that Debbie Bentley will contact Town Hall for sign placement approval and will send a promotional letter to The Mosquito. The minutes set a deadline for a 'save the date' message to be delivered before Feb. 20 and list a public launch of fundraiser information on Feb. 1. The minutes do not include a roll‑call tally for the recorded approvals.
