The next step is to <br /> put a yearbook together. It will be accessible in the High School library, and it will contain <br /> profiles that were already on display in our exhibit. Melania Frye, a senior at Mashpee High <br /> School is doing this as her Senior Project. There is a small grant available from Cape Cod <br /> Five that will fund the printing of the yearbook. The two driving forces behind this legacy <br /> project at the school are retiring this year. <br /> The Committee is seeking two sophomores from the Human Rights Club, or two individuals <br /> who the present representatives feel are qualified. Our current student representatives, <br /> Aimen and Ayesha are graduating this year. <br /> Ayesha Shafi commented they have identified one student representative and are still <br /> seeking a second. <br /> Column <br /> What does DEI mean? <br /> Chair Stevenson sent a copy of the article to members. It describes diversity as being a <br /> person who has a relationship with or is someone from a marginalized community, and this <br /> column is a way for those people to tell their story. Chair would like community members to <br /> write about what DEI means to them, or the group they represent. In our mission statement <br /> we identify race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, <br /> religious creed, ancestry, national origin, military or veteran status, marital or family status, or <br /> receipt of public benefits. <br /> The editor is fond of this idea. Marie Younger Blackburn was asked to kick off this initiative by <br /> writing about her son with down syndrome. Chair Stevenson will touch base with Maryann <br /> Murphy, President of the National Organization of Women in Boston, who has agreed to write <br /> on the issues of women. Former member, Hope Hanscom, also a Mashpee resident, has <br /> agreed to write on the topic of economic needs. Lastly, Chair has a contact in the LGBTQ <br /> community she will reach out to. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Brochure: Next Step <br /> There is a meeting on Thursday morning, Jan. 23rd. The subgroup each took a page from the <br /> brochure to edit. Mr. Klein noted a lot of the contacts and organizations were not current. <br /> Logo Update <br /> 2 <br />
