Cascadians,
I'm happy to say that WMF approved our most recent grant request. You can see the request here <

and accompanying discussion here <

.
Notes:
- The grant funds portions of our 2015 expenses, in addition to our known
2016 expenses.
- We may file supplemental requests going forward in 2016 as our plans
crystallize.
- We will need to be a little more active in gathering data and producing
reports going forward.
- The grant includes funding for registering as a 501(c)(3) organization.
- The grant includes funding for transportation cost reimbursements such
as
bus fares and tolls. (Note that documentation will need to be provided to get reimbursement.)
- The grant includes funding for a camera and camcorder to be used at our
events. Equipment will be available for loan to members; contributions to Commons with the equipment will be tracked.
Looking into the first quarter of 2016, we are working on plans to have a series of four workshops with at least one GLAM institution, possibly focusing on the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience <

.
I hope to see you at the upcoming members' meeting on December 13. More info about that is coming soon, hopefully by tomorrow at the latest. I'm waiting for a certain piece of information.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I also welcome questions and comments from WMF grants officer Kacie Harold who is our current point of contact for WMF funding.
Regards,
