May 12-18, 1996. The December minutes mentioned the proposed wording to be used on the time capsule for the new City Hall. Commissioner Piulle announced the Russian Festival will be held February 2-4. She said she noticed that the Redwood City Update did not include any mention of the Cultural Commission in their article about City organizations who work with outside agencies. She asked that a sub-committee be formed to work on this matter so that the Cultural Commission's accomplishments are included in future articles. This will be discussed later in the meeting. Superintendent Hartman read a copy of a letter sent by Frank Bravo of the Sequoia Alumni Association to Mike Church regarding the Alumni's vote to provide $13,500.00 in funding towards the Carrington Hall structural study. The two reference books that the Commission ordered in January have arrived and are available for the Commissioners' use. ITEM 1 -LIBRARY PROGRAMS Supervisor Hedges announced she has been promoted to Division Manager because of a reorganization at the Library and she will no longer be attending the Commission meetings. Her replacement will be Celia La Riviere who will begin attending meetings in March. Supervisor Hedges said her staff did extensive research on the topic of "Public Art" at the Commission's request, but were unable to find any information. Chairperson Redington thanked Supervisor Hedges for her participation in the Civic Cultural Commission meetings. The listing of the Library activities for the month of February are attached. ITEM 2-SEQUOIA PLAYERS Ray Dougherty of the Sequoia Players said they would like to reduce their public performances of "Kiss Me Kate" from 3 to 2 due to the fact that a limited amount of people will attend. The performances are scheduled for the evenings of April 26 and 27. They had originally planned on presenting "Bridgadoon" but found it too hard to cast. They will also save $395.00 in royalty fees with one less performance. There will be a Thursday evening dress rehearsal on April 25 and the students from John Gill and McKinley will be invited to attend. M/S Filippi/Distefano: To accept the requested change from 3 to 2 performances of the Sequoia Players. Motion passed.
