Cultural Council · Meeting of October 15, 2026
BERLIN — The Berlin Cultural Council previewed 22 grant applications for its 2027 funding cycle and set its next meeting for November 19, when it will decide the awards. Treasurer Debra Rolfe reported the council carried $206.46 in interest and had moved roughly $10,530 into this year's grant pool after a $82 stamp purchase. The council also weighed a letter from Judith Mills of the Berlin Senior Citizens Association asking to move a previously funded program to the 1870 Town Hall, with members saying "the sooner they provide us with that information, the sooner we can review it and make a decision." No new costs have been confirmed.
Members voted unanimously to accept the minutes and treasurer's report and to set the November 19 meeting date.
