The Leesburg Arts Commission on April 1 voted to: donate $1,500 to Love Your Mother, donate $250 to the Leads Work Movement for the Flower and Garden Show, and authorize repair work on a downtown public piano estimated at about $600.

The commission said the votes were taken during new business and each motion carried after members voiced assent. Jeanette moved the $1,500 donation to Love Your Mother and Corinne seconded; the motion passed. A separate motion to provide $250 for Leads Work Movement sponsorship passed. Commissioners then voted to authorize repair work to restore the public piano to playable condition.

The measures were described as uses of funds that are already in the commission’s current fiscal-year budget and subject to final processing by town council or staff disbursement procedures. Commission members discussed limits on available funds and the need to track remaining balances before committing additional support.
