We pay respects to their elders past and present. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Town Report <br /> The original group came to be due to issues happening in the town, for example the incident <br /> where someone drew swastikas on a carat Panera. Ms. Stevenson noted she then asked for <br /> volunteers and out of that came the Mashpee Inclusion and Diversity Committee. Along the <br /> way she then invited people to join orvolunteerand Rich Ragin is an example of someone in <br /> the community who wants to support MIDC. <br /> Mr. Ragin was present. He is the gentleman in the community who wants to financially support <br /> the movie on antisemitism, Etched in Glass. <br /> Ms. Stevenson continued that he is reflective of people reaching out looking for pathways to <br /> support DEI efforts. We had a woman whowas new to town inquire about Race Amity Day, her <br /> name is Deb Davis, she really spear headed the Race Amity Day festival. The Donovan's, <br /> members of Baha'I, are also instrumental in the behind the scenes organizing for Race Amity <br /> Day. She noted the importance to having people looking in from the outside. Chair delved into <br /> how the Coalition came to be and now is comprised of 40 different DEI groups across Cape <br /> 1 <br />
