Northborough DEIB committee to host table at Applefest, discuss volunteers and materials
Summary
The DEIB Committee plans to staff a table at Applefest (street fair Sept. 26) to promote committee activities, distribute a cultural calendar and recruit volunteers; members discussed handouts, a Facebook presence and staffing availability.
Angie Soudon proposed that the committee have a booth at Applefest to publicize DEIB activities, saying the "street fair is usually 10 to 3" and suggesting the group split hours and prepare laminated handouts and a calendar. Members discussed dates (Sept. 25–27 events with the street fair on Sept. 26) and agreed to bring ideas for handouts to the August meeting.
Jim Kane and other members urged action over overanalysis, arguing that early events build momentum. Kane said, "Success is going to breed more momentum," and volunteers offered to coordinate a QR-coded brochure, Facebook posts and coordination with library programming. The committee asked Angie to check Facebook admin access, to consult the IT director about a possible dedicated web presence, and to prepare materials ahead of the next meeting.
