We especially liked your plans to partner with Santa Ara Parks and Recreation Department to clean up two local <br />parks mentioned in the book, and the plan to utilize teens in the library's Digital Media Class to create the video. <br />As you begin this project please take note of the following: <br />• We would encourage you to also consider the engagement of other local adult volunteers in the clean -up projects <br />to encourage intergenerational mentoring. <br />• Please upload the final video to YouTube no later than August 31, and provide the url(s) in your final report. <br />• Your volunteer opportunities posted on VolunteerMatch need some work. Please contact Carla Lehn at <br />clean@library.ca.gov for some brief technical assistance. <br />In order to support you, an archived version of a webinar on "Managing your LSTA Grant" presented by the State Library <br />is available to view at http:, infopeoplle orL,,trainin�,,/,N,ebeasts'webcast data 497rindex.htrnl. <br />The Library Development Services Staff is ready to assist you in making your project a success. Please be aware state <br />processing of grant payments can require 6-8 weeks before you receive your check. <br />Best wishes for a successful project. <br />Kindest Regards, <br />or IV-W-V <br />Stacey A.
