Grant Writing Workshop update: Ann Whitlow reported. to the meeting relative to the Grant Writing- Workshop, Planning and Proposal Writ- ing. Ann explained that allof the attendees had very small budgets, non-profit agencies, etc. When the group analyzed the Historical Commission's possibilities of receiving grant monies, it was felt that the He C. had minimal chances f receiving small grant monies. Ann explained that she had been given some hints relative to what to do and where to go for grants, as well as educating the group on how to write the requests for- grants. It had been explained that those requesting grants had to develop credibility. They would need a letter-head. They- should have business cards. We should have a port- folio of our events. It is also very important that their hours were logged. In working on grants, the matching funds can be the price of their hours.. Also, bio rapbies of all of the members' credentials should be prepared. Ann -suggested that the watchword for the 125th Anniversary, the old- est and the -youngest churches and the museum right make a suitable logo for the H. C. Ann suggested that if they wanted to be professional, they would all have to meet and discuss their goals and needs for the future. It had been suggested that perhaps the H. C. could possibly have computer hook.--up through the high school since the H. C. will be a - val.uable resource to the high, school, Ann explained that she in- tended to make an appointment with Dr. BeMoura and with Bob Whritenour to determine whether the R. C. could in that gray, acquire the computer. Joanne suggested that Ann might want to meet with Bob Whritenour relative to the Small Cities Grant. Aran will prepare an outline of suggestions for the H. C. to follow and one of the regular meetings will be scheduled to discuss their goals and future needs.
