Manager's Decision:

Approved

Is staff available for coverage?:

Yes

Library budget available for this amount and for this target audience?:

Yes

Manager Comments:

I edited the name of the event as "Palette" was misspelled as "Palatte." Also, I think we could rework the blurb a little. It feels a little flat. The first line is a little clunky...maybe "Want to learn how to paint but don't know where to start?"
