1�. � <br /> Nashpee IncCusim and Diversity Committee <br /> _ .......w_wwwwwww.w...._................ <br /> _.www_._ ................ .... <br /> 16 Great .Neck R.oadNorth <br /> .94ashpee, MA 02649 <br /> MOTION: <br /> Mr. Klein made a motion to nominate the same leadership for next year, Ms. Stevenson <br /> as Chair and Ms. Johnson-Graham as Vice-Chair. Mr. Kupferman seconded. All in favor. <br /> 2. Budget Request <br /> The cost for both events was $5,000. We were dependent on being awarded the grant money. <br /> She is going to request a more substantial budget from the Select Board. It is their purpose to <br /> provide education and meaningful activities, and in order to do that successfully, we need <br /> funding. <br /> Mr. Klein commented if she made a proposal to the Select Board she would most likely get it. <br /> He suggests a more substantial ask than $500.00. <br /> Ms. Stevenson doesn't think this could have been pulled off in previous years. MIDC has really <br /> proven themselves. <br /> Mr. Klein stated the first year was done on a shoe string, the second year they had some <br /> money, and next year if they had an extra $2000.00 from the town, it could be a really big <br /> event, the rest could function off grant money. <br /> Ms. Stevenson is thinking about new people coming to the town and she would like to come up <br /> with a theme. She heard of a woman who went to the Senior Center and didn't feel welcome in <br /> some way. When people are included they feel belonging. When people feel they belong they <br /> participate. <br /> 3. Revise Brochure <br /> One of their very first projects was a brochure they had available in the Town Hall that helped <br /> with connecting people to one other. It's time for us to look at that again and revise the <br /> brochure. When she talks to new people, even on facebook, she tries to be welcoming. Last <br /> time there was a subcommittee. This can be a goal for next year. She would like to have a <br /> separate get together and invite the new Director of the Senior Center, new Director of the <br /> Chamber, and the new Principal, and ask how we can all work together and create this <br /> concept of belonging. There are condo association committees that meet at the Library in the <br /> room where the Who We Are exhibit is. We need to make sure people are feeling belonging, <br /> some people don't even know their own neighbors. <br /> 6 <br />
