Facebook ads. Wilburn said that he had distributed information about the Grants to Mr.
Harper at City High and Mr. Pepin at West High.
Summer of the Arts Update: Karr suggested that a country be picked soon, so as
to have a wider list of options. Nelson reminded the Commission that up to $700 could be
spent on this project with $500 in the YAC budget, and $200 being reimbursed by
Summer of the Arts. Segar opined that Egypt and Madagascar were the most interesting
to him. Weeks and Segar briefly discussed Segar's connection to a person from Egypt.
