6:30 pm: New Library “Windows” presentation by John Klossner
• Received $500 grant from the Greater Piscataqua Community Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for “Windows” Project. John Klossner made the grant proposal. Celina Adams emailed John: We are happy to provide support that helps to knit communities together around important opportunities. I hope in particular that this show of support helps you to assemble the rest of the funding.  I look forward to seeing the work when it is completed- let me know when the art is up!
• Aiming to spend about $1000 total.  Donations of household paints will be accepted during the Book Sale.  Looking for plywood donations (3’ x 6’ panels).
• Press Release should be done by May 1st.  Need to set deadline for artists to submit panels.  Would like them to be up by the Strawberry Festival.
• So far have 12 of 18 panels designed.  Perhaps someone could do the Friends logo as a credit panel.
• Pictures of panels could be added to Friends website as a slideshow.
