She would like to see time spent at K.C. Coombs or Quashnet, they are <br /> only in the High School. Back in the day there would be assembly's and they would go to the <br /> gym and sitwith friends singing "We Belong". <br /> Rolf Brandt asked about the immigrants at the Joint Base Cape Cod, it was responded they <br /> had gone to Yarmouth and left the base. <br /> Winnie Johnson-Graham commented there isn't enough housing right now, that is the real <br /> need. <br /> Dan Ku pferman stated Nell Field came to a meeting last year with hopes the Town might want <br /> to sponsor a refugee family and we decided back then it was too large to take on at the time. <br /> Mohamad Fand said we need to concentrate on bringing people in, there is a whole spectrum <br /> of people, according to ability, and this refugee business is biggerthan us, we cannottarget <br /> too big. <br /> Dan Kupferman added what if there were people in Mashpee who needed rides to <br /> appointments. <br /> Richard Klein said they could ask Gail Wilson at the next meeting if she could help with this <br /> concept. Lynne Barbeewho is involved at the Senior Center is also on Human Services and is <br /> driving people from the Senior Centerto appointments. Itwould be a nice cross committee <br /> collaboration. <br /> Rolf Brandt inquired about the Town Manager coming to a meeting to discuss Open Meeting <br /> Law issue. <br /> Mohamad Fand noted he filed it, and he got a response. Everything had been submitted on <br /> time, there was no right to cancel or say the Committee cannot convene. <br /> Dan Kupferman stated the Town acknowledged they were mistaken about that before hearing <br /> from the state level. One was the question of them telling us we couldn't meet the otherwas <br /> whetherwe could encourage the Town to vote for or against a petition article. <br /> Winnie Johnson-Graham asked if Juneteenth would be acknowledged, Race Amity Day is the <br /> week prior. Richard Klein would like to incorporate it into the RAD ceremony. <br /> 3 <br />
