Commission to hold town hall, library to help promote; members plan park pop-ups and a sensory tent
Summary
The commission discussed holding an October town hall with a speaker and running park pop-ups this summer; library staff offered space and marketing help but requested 6–8 weeks' lead time, and commissioners agreed to trial a small sensory tent at pop-up events rather than a larger mobile sensory bus for logistical reasons.
The Stow Commission on Inclusion discussed community outreach options including an October town hall, library partnership for promotion, park pop-ups and a lightweight sensory tent for events.
Library staff told the commission the marketing team needs about "6 to 8 weeks" of lead time for printed materials and promotion if the commission wants a presenter or a featured program; commissioners discussed October as the best season to reach parents and caregivers after summer schedules ease and suggested the commission aim for the October meeting date discussed during the session.
Commissioners agreed to test a compact sensory tent or bin of low-profile sensory items at park pop-ups rather than pursuing a city bus retrofit now, citing driver and logistics constraints. A sign-up sheet for pop-up events was circulated; the meeting record shows no formal vote but members discussed covering multiple dates and staffing the tent with volunteers.
Trisha signed up for a pop-up scheduled for June 17 and the commission asked staff to re-send the sign-up sheet and event details to members.
