Mashpee Inclusion and Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, MA 02649 <br />come guest speak, an inspirational woman who talks about people with physical differences. <br />Chair was given the webpage, she is local to Plymouth and she has dwarfism. Chairwoman <br />believes this would be a wonderful possibility. The Health Agent will be a guest speaker in <br />October and the immigrant community reaches out to him often. After the reception she was <br />approached and told there needs to be more connections made like this. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Budget: Future Expenditures <br />We have $2000 for this coming fiscal year. <br /> <br />Race Amity Day Update <br />The final report has been submitted thanks to Lisa Frye, who helped with the budget on the <br />report. The application is already in for 2024. Through the coalition we may have a performer <br />contact. The subcommittee will be starting in September this year. Several performers wanted <br />to come but were already booked this past celebration. Mr. Kupferman gave kudos to Ms. Kent <br />and Mr. Klein for their continued efforts. <br /> <br />Mr. Brandt asked a question regarding fundraising, which is not permitted, but Chair noted the <br />bank is helpful, we apply for grant money, and we can be gifted money. Mr. Collins does not <br />want to have a volunteer committee with a budget, but we are part of the Human Services <br />Department. We also have volunteers from the community that help work on the RAD <br />subcommittee. She noted she would like to see the Police and Fire Departments have a table <br />next year, or even a truck for kids. <br /> <br />Holocaust Remembrance Event <br />There is a local supporter in the community who wants to fund this gentleman guest speaker <br />and pay $600 to bring him to Mashpee. It will take place around International Holocaust <br />Remembrance Day in January. How do we get people to come? How can we get the school <br />together to participate? Sandwich DEI is hosting an event on the holocaust so she would like <br />to see their attendance. This trickles into Diversity Day. If we were to work on the Diversity Day <br />program, maybe we could coordinate the same gentleman to speak. We could use him during <br />the day at the school. This is a program of hope, survival, and remembrance. It might be sad <br />but it’s important. <br /> <br />Ayesha noted the presenters and performers are still being figured out, they focus on ageism, <br />classism, and racism. It has yet to be confirmed but she will follow up with Ms. Purdy. It may <br />be harder to get participation as there were some issues around planning. <br /> <br />Advisory/Task Force Belonging Project <br />Postponed <br /> <br />
