IMP. IMBO <br /> d"frk,{ynr,fw VhP. <br /> w Mashpee lncCusion and'Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road -Vorth- <br /> MasGtpee, M-A 02649 <br /> Ms. Stevenson added this discussion will continue once we establish what our purpose is with <br /> the results of the community's feedback. <br /> Race Amity Day <br /> Chair Stevenson is looking to incorporate an international immigrant perspective to RAD. She <br /> wants to discuss this further with the Committee. She is contacting Jeni Wheeler with Family <br /> Table Collaborative for ideas and how to expand for an international menu. <br /> Ms. Landry suggested rebranding the title of the event to make it more welcoming. <br /> Ms. Stevenson commented that the concept was brought here by the Baha'i, and 11 states <br /> recognize Race Amity in some capacity. We should play with the title but still keep Race Amity <br /> Day,just make it stronger. The festival has been growing every year, the first year we had 50 <br /> people and now we have over 200 participants. The grant we wrote is based on two specific <br /> performers and their ethnicities through dance and music. <br /> Human Rights Academy/ Human Rights Club <br /> The Chair will be meeting with Celeste Reynolds, who is very involved in the school. After <br /> some turnover she is hoping to rebuild that connection. There will be a meeting Friday to <br /> discuss how we could support and continue the relationship and membership. Ms. Purdey did <br /> a lot of recruiting. <br /> The Barnstable County Human Rights Commission had its 20-year anniversary breakfast. <br /> Marie Blackburn gave a wonderful speech about Human Rights being the foundation of <br /> freedom. It was very uplifting. Two students were recognized for their poetry about immigrants, <br /> one from Sturgis and the other from Nauset Regional. <br /> Cemetery Request <br /> Nothing to report. <br /> Alternate Tribal Representative <br /> Ms. Stevenson wrote a letter to Brian Weeden and David Weeden and copied Winnie <br /> Johnson-Graham about nominating an alternate. She is waiting for a response. <br /> New Member <br /> There was interest expressed by a young woman who may not be interested any longer. A <br /> younger person with a school-aged child would be a great addition. The Chair would like to <br /> write something for recruitment through the school's weekly Wednesday parent outreach. <br /> Once drafted, the Chairwill send to Ms. Hill. <br /> 4 <br />
