The City has met the criteria Mr. Harper presented, and it was a good <br />refresher. The information on the grant program was helpful and useful, along with the <br />resources available on the website. Mr. Schumann said it was rewarding to know the <br />recommended methods and processes presented by Mr. Harper match those of the Landmarks <br />Commission. It was a confidence builder. <br />Cemetery Imnrovement Proiect <br />Ms. Wenger reviewed the subjects covered in the July 13 cemetery committee meeting including <br />the gravestone restoration workshop, the use of CLG grants, fundraising ideas such as partnering <br />with Dover Players, pancake breakfasts, wine tastings, walking tours, historic character <br />portrayals, historic plays, and murder mystery events. How the GNMMTP plan can benefit the <br />cemetery improvements was also discussed as it includes Butternut Ridge Road improvements <br />including a bike path and connecting green spaces in the City. Ms. Wenger invited the <br />Landmarks Commission members to attend the Public Meeting on July 29, 6:30 p.m. at the <br />library. She hopes to get the message out to community groups and encourage their members to <br />become involved. Mr. Schumann asked if being awarded one grant helps to obtain grants from <br />other organizations. Ms. Wenger said if you meet grant criteria and are judged funding-worthy <br />by one organization, others may find you funding-worthy as well. The award of one grant can <br />create syilergy making other grants become possible or serving as a local match.
