Director's Report: Katie reported that there is a lot going on within the department. <br /> However, she is only going to touch on a few items to leave plenty of time to discuss the <br /> grant awards. <br /> a. Triangle Artworks Creatives Happy Hour Aug 20, 6-8pm —we will be hosting the <br /> first one of these events at The Mill. It will bring in a lot of people that have not <br /> been to The Mill before.These events have a good size and diverse crowd. She <br /> needs a few more of us to volunteer as "bartenders". <br /> b. Harvest Fest Aug 31 at Blackwood Park—We will be handling alcohol sales for <br /> Sonark Media's "HarvestFest" happening at Blackwood Park Saturday Aug 31, <br /> which will raise money for the OCAA. More volunteers are needed to work the <br /> event. We will be checking IDs and serving drinks. <br /> c. Paint it Orange—8t" Annual Paint It Orange will be the first week in October. Two <br /> paint out windows this year (weekend before the event and the standard Wed — <br /> Friday). It will be a very big event at The Mill and we are looking for sponsors. <br /> d. Eno Mill <br /> i. Financial report for end of FY24—The Mill ended the year with a small <br /> positive amount even with expanding the scope and budget in 2024. We <br /> brought in more programming and sales revenue than budgeted although <br /> rent was under budget. (see chart on next page) <br />
