Hi all,
Our CPB grant is essential, though it it's no longer enough to fully pay
for two staff positions here. KBOO still doesn't have a paid music
director, right?
Most of us can't get someone to work full time for free.

While I'm at it -- I cannot find any references online to any portion of
CPB grants being restricted.  I know they did away with having separate CSG
and NPPAG grants, but where and how is it stated that a portion of our
total grant is still earmarked for programming acquisition and promotion?

Thanks in advance for your help, and welcome back, Marty!
Keep up the good fight, everyone!!

Sybil
