The Town of Mansfield's Select Board meeting on November 6, 2024, highlighted the community's vibrant spirit with a focus on recent events and upcoming initiatives. A standout moment was the enthusiastic praise for the annual Halloween parade, organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. Board member Diana commended the event for its creativity and impressive turnout, calling it one of her favorite days of the year.
The meeting also touched on the upcoming Veterans Day Parade, with members sharing their excitement and humorous anecdotes from past events. One board member humorously recounted dressing as a bank robber during the Halloween festivities, emphasizing the interactive nature of the parade that engaged both participants and spectators.
In addition to celebrating community events, the board discussed the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee's efforts to enhance town communications. Although a recent meeting lacked a quorum, plans are in place to continue reviewing how the town communicates inclusively with its residents.
The meeting concluded with routine approvals of payroll and vendor payments, ensuring the town's operations remain on track. As Mansfield gears up for its next meeting on November 13, the community looks forward to more lively discussions and events that foster engagement and unity.
