and Kim for review, will also be sent to the City for review. Hoping to go live today.
Kickoff event at Bangor Arts Exchange 10.06.17. Poster will be ready for review on
Friday, 09.15.17. Need to work on securing submissions from arts and culture
organizations for the calendar.
3.Budgeting CCD Funds for the Current Fiscal Year
The group was generally in agreement that the funding should be divided in half
between the two grant rounds (after admin/Artober expenses are taken out). To
promote the grant opportunity, CCD members (possibly Kim?) will speak during the
Artober kickoff party.

Need to change staff contact information on website, and remove the funding caps from
the grant application forms. First grant round coming up 11.01.17. Staff will follow up on
terms and review/confirm with all CCD members. Need to schedule social media posts
for CCD and Artober, then share with DBP and City to leverage. Staff will also ask about
Artober facebook page.
