RE: FY'98 Grant Awards
/;O~
Dear An~nio:
On behalf of the Council and staff, we wish to thank you again for your service this past year as Music grants panelist. Your
participation as a panelist contributed significantly to the overall grants evaluation process and provided the Council the input
it needed to make its funding decisions on July 29th.
Since many of the panelists expressed interest in hearing about the outcome of the grants evaluation process, we are enclosing
a list of the organizations and artists which received funding. Most recipients of General Operating Support, General
Program Support and Arts Education Special Initiative support received a three-year funding commitment from the Council.
Organizations receiving designation status are indicated.
If you know of colleagues who you would like to recommend as panelists, please use the enclosed form to send their names
and addresses, or tell them to give us a call, or send their resume to:
Bob Keane, Panel Coordinator
NJ State Council on the Arts
PO Box 306'
Trenton, NJ 08625
Again, we thank you for your service, and hope to see you again soon.
Sincerely,
Barbara Russo
