Danvers HRIC previews MLK Day program and menorah lighting
Summary
The HRIC detailed an MLK Day program set for Jan. 20 at Danvers High School and provided logistics for a menorah lighting scheduled around Dec. 30; members asked for publicity and school cooperation.
Committee members used the Dec. 19 meeting to confirm two upcoming public events and ask for help publicizing them.
Karen summarized the MLK Day program planned for Jan. 20 at Danvers High School from 4 to 6 p.m., including a student art exhibit, interactive activities for children and youth, community speakers labeled 'Move Like King' and the second annual Seed of Hope award. Committee members asked to distribute flyers in public spaces and for Danvers Public Schools to share the event with families.
Separately, the committee discussed arrangements for a menorah lighting scheduled for Dec. 30 (calendar shift due to the Jewish calendar). Chair Paul said police and fire would help manage traffic and crowd flow and that the lighting would be staged near the town square parking area; Rabbi Mendel is coordinating the schedule and organizers are preparing flyers and publicity.
Committee members asked staff and volunteers to help with promotion; no formal budget or permit changes were discussed at the meeting. The committee will follow up with Danvers Public Schools and local media contacts to ensure community outreach.
