The Board performed a mini postmortem on the 2009 Festival of Cultures. All members agreed that we should do this again.

All agreed that our Alliance table could be better organized for next time.
Guest John Wysocki spoke about the 1996 Celebration of
Cultures in Lawrence as well as the 1991 Harvest of Arts. He noted his
involvement in these events; he also noted that Lawrence as a community responds
well to these types of events which is why they should be continued.
