Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Danbury Cultural Commission approved a $208.80 reimbursement for books donated to elementary schools, authorized $225 in Railway Museum tickets for a neighborhood walk, reviewed upcoming events and project updates, and set its next meeting for May 18.
The Danbury Cultural Commission on April 27 approved reimbursement of $208.80 to Commissioner Siubhan Fallon for 12 books purchased from The BookSmiths Shoppe that will be autographed and donated to 12 elementary schools, and authorized $225 to purchase Railway Museum tickets to support a neighborhood walk.
Commissioner Ed Moore moved to reimburse Fallon $208.80; the motion (moved by Ed Moore and Harvey Center, seconded by Cheryl Hill) passed by unanimous voice vote. Moore then moved to purchase $225 in tickets for 15 walkers (covering $10 admission and a $5 train ride); that motion, seconded by Cheryl Hill, also passed unanimously. Meeting materials note leftover tickets will be distributed by Railway Museum directors as selected.
Coordinator Gregory Wencek briefed commissioners on upcoming program items including a WCSU Media Arts student showing May 15, the Marian Anderson memorial site survey and statue study work, the White Oak Film Festival planning at WCSU, and Make Music Day (June 21) for which a $1,000 state grant is being processed with the mayor. Wencek reported 51 unique events in April, four grant opportunities among 24 potential applicants, 64 staff hours worked last month, 253 website visits (241 unique) and 193 newsletter subscribers.
