include a prize/ or art supplies for school. Emmanuel brought up that he thought Ben
would do both boxes. Further discussion ensued. Final determinations will be brought
back from the Sub-Committee. Process: Theme given to artist; this followed by a sketch
or theme of work done by the artist. Choices will be brought back to CAC for final
decision. Suggestion that funds encumbered in this FY, so we don’t lose the
appropriation, before end of September. Rickelle advises there is not a need for
encumbrances. She believes if funds are not available this FY, she is budgeting funding
for FY 2019. Joan will email images prior to next meeting, so final determinations can be
made.
