Nashpee IncCusion andDiversityCommittee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Ms. Stevenson said Race Amity has been around since 2015 in Massachusetts, really <br /> hundreds of years. There is no way a new committee could have done this when MIDC first <br /> started. She always wanted to do some big event, outside of Diversity Day, before Covid <br /> happened. When you have a committee like this it really takes times, we have built all of <br /> these relationships with people all over Town, that's why we are able to pull this off together. <br /> Having the Superintendent of schools and Tribal representation, without them Ms. Stevenson <br /> doesn't think this could have been pulled off. This gives us a future for other events with a <br /> bigger vision. <br /> The only thing that was purchased was a beautiful banner, 6ft. x 4ft. Mr. Kupferman donated <br /> funds that The Enterprise pays him for his column. <br /> Starting in July there will be a little bit of a budget. We cannot raise money ourselves, but we <br /> can accept donations. Next year when we get into sponsors, we will look into this. <br /> Mr. Kupferman suggested we plan ahead with the budget in a few months and start <br /> submitting budget plants to the Town to see what they want to do. <br /> Ms. Johnson-Graham added they should have a calendar on the Town site to allow people to <br /> see what is going on. <br /> Chairwoman mentioned a lot of towns were choosing Juneteenth which is the 19th and others <br /> have chosen Pride month to celebrate, she is confident Race Amity was a good choice for <br /> them. <br /> Chairwoman will firm up the program with Ms. DeBoer in the next day. <br /> Ms. Nadeau will take the current programs and cut off the front cover and will distribute to <br /> places around Town. (Mashpee TV, Chamber of Commerce, School, Post Office, Town Hall, <br /> etc.) <br /> Cheyenne mentioned Art Honor Society having a table and asked if they should bring their <br /> own to have a display of artwork. Ms. Johnson Graham will provide a table if they cannot. <br /> Board of Selectman Approvals <br /> On May 24th the Board of Selectman met and the proclamation was unanimously voted for <br /> approval. It will get easier going forward, as this will be a yearly event. Submissions to the <br /> Board of Selectman should be done earlier to allow more time for planning. <br /> The date of the event is Sunday, June 13th from 1 p.m. to 3p.m. at Community Park. <br /> 5 <br />
