<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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: <i><span style="color:black">Please remember that your obligations under the
Grant Agreement continue to apply. An audit may be conducted by</span></i><span style="color:black"> <i>IMLS after the termination of the agreement.</i></span><o:p></o:p></p>

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
