"Arts Council members asked about what happened to the roof fund and we listened.  I have done a thorough review of the Arts Council's records and determined that the dollars in the roof fund ($2281.14) were moved into the general checking account in August 2017 and used for operating expenses.  The Arts Council is committed to restoring the balance in the roof fund, hence the proceeds of the 2019 Nutcracker performances ($1811.00) have been put in a savings account designated for the roof and the board approved a motion that those funds cannot be moved into another account or used for another purpose without board approval. Unfortunately, we cannot use our grant funds to replace the roof, so it has to come from money we raise from events. We will continue to build that fund back to its previous level."  

Sincerely, 

Eileen Searcy, Board Secretary
