NEW BUSINESS <br />Motion: Veronica Warden moved to add the discussion regarding the Homebound <br />in Mashpec, seconded by Lynne Waterman.. Vote unanimous 6-0 <br />Frank Fantasia referred to his proposal Homebound in Mashpee for Delivery of Groceries <br />to people who are homebound. This would be groceries that the pantry would pack and <br />deliver to the homebound. He said they have the ability to vet the people but have no <br />ability to deliver the groceries. The proposal is basically to form a partnership with the <br />pantry and the Town of Mashpee. We are looking to come up with some kind of concept <br />that we would rely on the resources of the town to get these groceries into the homes of <br />these homebound people. The Director noted this was her initiative #3. She referred to <br />two clients who are homebound and no way to get any food. There was a lengthy <br />discussion on developing a pilot program. The members generally agreed to develop a <br />draft proposal to submit to the CCRTA to see if they would be interested in a pilot <br />program consisting of five people once a month. This could be a reputable regional <br />model. If CCRTA isn't receptive to this proposal, it was suggested meeting with the <br />Town Manager, The Director thanked Frank Fantasia for his proposal <br />Coordinator Report <br />Update of Mashpee Substance Abuse Task Force <br />The Director said the Substance Abuse Task Force had two meetings attended by a multi <br />sector group of about 15 individuals. They are approaching through two main areas <br />.prevention and intervention and treatment and recovery. Under the prevention and <br />intervention, the Task Force decided on a wellness campaign with the title "It is Never <br />To Early". The Task Force will be handing out resource materials at different town <br />events and are hoping to have their own web page. This page, with input from the Task <br />Force, will have the most recent events and substance information. Also, they will be <br />developing a logo for our Task )Force and doing some PSAs for Mashpee TV. The <br />second component is treatment and recovery and this will be to pull together all the <br />resources on and off the Cape. The Task Force wants to bring in anyone that could <br />possibly help. <br />Motion: Frank Fantasia moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Veronica <br />Warden.
