Wice McWade, Administrative Assistant 3 Nantucket Community Preservation Committee 16 Broad Street Nantucket, MA 02554 November 20,2002 To the Members of the Community Preservation Committee: After serious deliberation, we have decided to respectfully withdraw our current application for CPA funding in FY 2004 dedicated toward preserving the Quaker Meeting House. It was not a decision reached easily, but in light of the large demand for limited resources, all aimed at worthwhile projects, we will feel more comfortable if we postpone our request for funds until we can more adequately address the preservation issues facing this structure in a more complete manner. Hopefully this will somewhat lessen the current demand for funds and make your committee's decisions slightly easier this year. We will continue pursuing Phase I of the Quaker Meeting House restoration project with the CPA monies we have already received, in addition to some of our own funds. By taking a bit more time, it should allow us to return to your committee with a clearer understanding of the exact problems facing this structure and more concrete proposals for how to solve them. We do expect to come back to your committee and apply next year. In the meantime, thank you for your consideration and past support of the Quaker Meeting House project, as well as the important work that the Community Preservation Committee is doing for Nantucket.
