Board of Finance approves $5,000 grant for History Center's 250th events
Summary
The Board of Finance approved a one-time grant of up to $5,000 to the North Canaan History Center to help fund 250th celebration events, after the History Center representative outlined a June 13 flagpole-raising, community picnic and reenactments.
The North Canaan Board of Finance voted to provide a one-time grant of up to $5,000 to the History Center to support its 250th celebration activities. Kathryn Boughton of the History Center told the board they are planning a June 13 flagpole-raising ceremony that will include a community picnic and reenactments; she said the George Washington Ball recently “broke even” and the requested grant would give the center a cushion while it pursues other funding.
John Jacquier moved to approve the $5,000 grant and Christian Allyn seconded; the motion carried and the board directed the funds to come from surplus. The board asked no further questions during the presentation. The allocation is a one-time payment and the History Center indicated it may use some, all or none of the approved amount depending on additional funding they secure.
