Pik. <br /> Ma shpee Cares— a "Feel Good" Organization? <br /> Janice v alf rd expressed her feeling that the I lashpee Cares organization is shaping up to be <br /> nothing more than a "feel good" organization. It has actually been functioning since 2011, started by <br /> School Superintendent Ann Bradshaw, and Ills. Walf rd stated her impression that it is not <br /> accomplishing what its website and publicity handouts say it has dome. <br /> Gail Wilson n responded that Mashpee Cares was organized in 2011 by Anon Bradshaw, when <br /> a large number of students were getting into prescription drags and a lot of parents attended <br /> meetings at the high school. Over the years, the group has lost its focus. Nis. Wilson's <br /> understanding is that I lashpee Cares is going to become an official Town Committee. <br /> l ashpee Cares has developed a Mission Statement and the group is now very dedicated t <br /> looking at how to educate the community about the drug problem. Gail Wilson is of the <br /> opinion that the group is a very serious group. Gail Wilson's opinion about Mashpee Cares is <br /> that it is a very legitimate organization, doing what it can to try to bring together sore <br /> educational component, and that it is in the early stages of this effort. <br /> It was suggested that Janice Walf rd and Fruth Elias meet directly with Mike Richardson regarding <br /> Mashpee Cares.
