>>
>> It's incredibly sad and frustrating. I know we were all holding out hope
>> that this project would be allowed to continue.
>>
>>
>>
>> Because the grant is cancelled, there can't be any reimbursements
>> clearly. Nathan sent letters last week to all libraries that are in the
>> middle of programming or about to begin programming to let them know that
>> the grant was suspended (at that point) and that if they continued to
>> implement their creative aging programs under this project that it would be
>> at their own expense. Many shared that they were going to stay the course
>> (again at their own expense) and also shared heartfelt notes of solidarity.
>>
>>
>>
>> We are still getting more details but wanted to let you know asap.
>> Veronda and I will also work to get some further clarification on the last
>> line of the letter: *Please remember that your obligations under the
>> Grant Agreement continue to apply. An audit may be conducted by* *IMLS
>> after the termination of the agreement.*
>>
>>
>>
>> We have accomplished a great deal in the past 2+ years to embed creative
>> aging in libraries across Missouri and Wyoming, raise awareness of the
>> benefits of this work to older adults, communities and libraries, and
>> support library workers in developing culturally responsive and sustainable
>> programs. Not to mention, we have collectively built a strong partnership
>> that serves as a example of how to coordinate and scale this work. I want
>> to thank all of you for being such champions of creative aging and
>> committed collaborators. And I especially want to recognize Nathan on our
>> staff for managing this project with such care.

>>
>>
>> Nathan and I will be in touch about any next steps but I wanted to share
>> the news with you asap.
