Discussed ways to get the StoryMap and other materials out to the community. Outreach help? Put on the website? Aaron says, yes, we can do that. Jason to follow up with Celeste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Joan reported that Clinton and Union Street library scheduled to open in the fall. What would an email to the library say? Library should be very interested in the StoryMap. Aaron will follow up to see if the StoryMap can be shared with BPL. We need to draft an email. Can it also be in book form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Asked Aaron if we still have the original draft StoryMap that was much more geared to kids. It would be nice to have both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Joan shared her PowerPoint of the graffiti materials. Eventually we want a show at Dredgers with real items dredged and the graffiti materials but would be great if we could show the StoryMap, too. Aaron will follow up. If we cannot move all of John Quadrozzi\u2019s items to the location we could use the photos we have of them already. Just need frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Michael Kilian was unable to attend but did say he would reach out to John Quadrozzi and I gave him the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Jason suggested posters with QR codes and flyers \u2013 can the Trust help? Aaron to check. If we get the flyers it would be nice to frame and have hung in new spaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attendees, CAG Members:&nbsp;Joan Salome-Rodriguez, Moderator.&nbsp;Margaret Maugenest, Jason Schwartzman.
