They have already been in contact with the <br /> Select Board for the proclamation for Race Amity Day. <br /> Mr. Kupferman commented that last year the celebration was only two hours. This year we <br /> are expanding it to four hours. There is money in the budget this year and the hope is to <br /> make it more of a festival than just an acknowledgment. They are hoping to get food trucks <br /> and more entertainment. Maybe the last hour can really just be music and socializing. The <br /> program will have concluded at that point. The GroovaLottos will be performing this year. <br /> He noted Ms. Johnson-Graham will inquire about Morgan Peters to see if they are available <br /> to close out the show with a set. Performers can be given a stipend. The subcommittee will <br /> be meeting every two Thursdays at 5:30p.m. The next meeting is April 28th. You don't have <br /> to make every meeting but there is a lot of energy and great ideas. <br /> 3. Access for Elderly <br /> Madam Chair spoke to Mr. Lehrer, Town Planner.

Interview for vacancy: Rowela Kent <br /> Ms. Stevenson spoke about Rolf, the gentleman who sat in on the previous meeting. He is <br /> tied up over the next few months, then a letter of interest came in for Ms. Kent. She thought <br /> it best to respond to her interest at this time. Sample interview questions were sent to the <br /> members prior. Ms. Kent would like to be a voting member and is already a part of the <br /> Race Amity Day subcommittee. When Rolf comes back he will be considered as a non- <br /> voting member. He has yet to submit his letter of interest. <br /> Q. What promoted your interest in this Committee? <br /> A. Ms. Kent stated that Trish Keliinui has been a good friend to her and they work side by <br /> side with one another.

She was aware of some things she went <br /> through growing up and she then mentioned the MIDC. <br /> Q. What do you see the committee doing? <br /> 4 <br />
