RE: Petition for funding for ABHC Millennium Project.
On behalf of my ABHC co- chair, Joanna Fletcher, and myself, I come before you to request an
immediate $500 in start-up costs and to confirm a commitment for an additional $6,000 to be paid
by December 31, 1998.
This funding is requested to cover project expenses for, but not limited to the following:
Administrative costs including advertising, postage and office materials and supplies;
Tape recorder(s) and tapes for recording, and professional transcribing services of oral histories
collected from former and current Atlantic Beach residents and/or city employees and
representatives;
Photocopy services for reproducing researched and loaned materials including
archival/printing - quality reproductions of historical documents and photographs;
Newly created photography, artists renderings and/or other original visual recordings of current -
day landscapes, roadways, parks and/or buildings;
Design and manufacture of historical markers, medals or plaques in recognition of homes, parks,
roadways and/or buildings having historical significance;
The purchase of the necessary quality materials to permanently catalog, preserve and/or store all
collected/created documents, photographs, maps and memorabilia that chronicles the history of
Atlantic Beach for presentation to the city and;
Graphic design, typesetting, plate making and printing of a bound limited edition book to be make
available to the public at the celebration of the new Millennium.
ABHC is seeking a matching grant from the Bureau of Historic Preservation, Florida Department
of the State under its Community Education Projects grants program. The grant application is due
on August 31, 1998. Announcements of grant recipients will be made by December 31, 1998.
