Attendees are urged to Special NA NA NA $750 $750 <br />visit the Casa Peralta, the Little Brown Church and the San Leandro Museum. Programs <br />We have lunch (for many years served by the members of the City Council) and <br />a Pick your Own prize opportunity, the profits from this are set aside for future <br />restoration of the fountain at the Casa Peralta. This year we would hope to add <br />entertainment and possibly our local artisans showing their art work. Hopefully, <br />the addition of entertainment and better advertising will attract new attendees as <br />well as bring back those who have not attended in the past several years. <br />Note: Historical Society was last funded in 2001-02 for an oral history project <br />($6, 000}. <br />FY2008-09 Funding Note: Commission is pleased to recommend funding for <br />this valuable community based program. <br />• The applicant did not attend the applicant presentation meeting on <br />Apri121, however, did attend the Recreation and Parks Commission <br />meeting on May 7, 2008. <br />• The Commission recommends funding because the Historical Society <br />is a San Leandro based organization with broad community benefit <br />and the mission of the organization is directly related to the cultural <br />arts mission of the Community Benefit Program. <br />
