OLD BUSINESS 2009 Juried Arts & Crafts Festival Mr. Kepperley has received no applications to date though he has mailed and e-mailed many applications forms. The application fee is $50.00. The lack of applicants is not a concern; at this time last year he had received two applications. A reminder postcard will be mailed in late May. It is unlcnown if the City of North Olmsted will have a tent at the art show for the Village Centennial. Neither the City nor the school system would be charged for the space. It was recommended and agreed that the May 6h Cultural Activities Commission meeting would be held in the high school office, time to be determined, before judging the school art show exhibits. Refreshments will be served. Mr. Kepperley would prefer the art work selected for presentation at the Juried Arts & Crafts Festival be stored at the school instead of the students taking their projects home for the summer.
