New business: There was a discussion of the Small Grants Program from the NE Coalition of Neighborhoods. It was proposed that various members of the board write grants to cover: the crosswalk at Irving Park (Jeff), the Art Festival at 15th and Prescott (Judy), creation of a Web page for the SCA (Elise). These must follow a specific form and be submitted by Nov. 3rd to the NE Coalition of Neighborhoods, Lauren McCarthy.
Plans were made for the board Holiday Party in December at LaBodega on Dec. 8 or 9th.

Respectfully submitted, Judy Harrison
