IMP. IMBO <br /> d"fr,,{ynr,fw VhP. <br /> w Mashpee lncCusion and-Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Weck RoadWorth <br /> 'Alashyee, AMA 02649 <br /> Mary Waygan announced herself and stated she asked for the copy, and she couldn't get it. <br /> She was frustrated. She asked the Town Manager, and he never saw a copy. <br /> Lynne Barbee was at the Select Board meeting where this was discussed. She made public <br /> comment at the very end, she was pleased there seemed to be clear support from the Select <br /> Board in favor of this Committee. She is Chair of the Human Services Committee, but they <br /> were happy to share money from their budget to give the MIDC money to work with. If this <br /> Select Board is serious about addressing issues this Committee needs more resources, <br /> whether staff or money. <br /> Human Services has a budget and gives money to a variety of groups that serve residents of <br /> Mashpee. Gail Wilson gets reports, and they review those, like the food bank for example. <br /> Annual reports are posted. Ms. Barbee stated she can be an advocate to this Committee and <br /> not spread people thin by duplicating work. <br /> Race Amity Day costs close to $2000.00 every year and that is one activity. We wrote grants to <br /> the Mass Cultural Council and got awarded money the first couple of rounds, but not after that. <br /> Our budget was increased and approved by Gail Wilson. Who We Are cost $500.00, and we <br /> wrote grants with the School Committee to get money. <br /> Ms. Waygan thinks everyone should google the organization the ADL, and what was written in <br /> the New York Times, this organization has some controversy. Ms. Stevenson added there is all <br /> kinds of conflict going on in the world and in our country, we must be so careful and look at <br /> what is our lane and what is our role. There is a relationship with ADL and the school, and it is <br /> not our lane. <br /> Mr. Klein asked if we could expand on the voting members and allow for supporting associate <br /> members like the Donovan's. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> MOTION: <br /> Dan Kupferman made a motion to adjourn the meeting of the MIDC at 6:05p.m. <br /> Seconded by Winnie Johnson-Graham.All in favor. <br /> NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, September 17, 2024 @ 5:OOPM <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Cam-✓ <br /> 5 <br />
