content. Linda suggested a pitch to Stakeholder/Participants about the plan and to recruit other volunteers, as well as to solicit virtual content.  Lorain, Sondra, Bill, Sandy, Linda, Sue, Glen, Steve, Mary all volunteered to help in the Patriots Day effort. Gresh and Geetha volunteered to also help with specific tasks.  June suggested that some groups who normally participate might appreciate receiving some token stipend when they contribute virtual content. Sondra volunteers to take on the “money” task to negotiate/resolve compensation with participants as necessary.  Steve asked what other resources could provide assistance for filming, editing, etc. June said we would try to connect resources with content contributions/participants after we have our Stakeholders meeting.  June will send out e-mail to volunteers to organize the first Stakeholders meeting, including Zoom link (from Kim at town office), need for different skills, etc.  June asked what time would be preferred for Stakeholders Meeting - considering by end of January or first week of Feb. Need to start early to get people thinking - this will take a lot of effort, time and lead-time.  We are just starting to get it together. Next TCC meeting will be in 2 weeks.  Sandy Podgorski has a list of who has participated in Patriots Day planning in the past and will provide to June.  Lorain suggested putting out a list of assignments before the next meeting. Lorain said she can help put together that list. Dance Around the World  TCC sponsors event that happens every 2 years.  Need a definite regular time for this so people can plan normally. Suggest early May.  May 2022 would be the next Dance Around the World event, not 2021. Last one was 2019. Memorial Day  Just to get TCC thinking: plan for a Virtual Memorial Day in 2021.  Members should send/e-mail ideas for events/approach to June. Martin Luther King Day, January 18, 2021  Jill Hai represented Sam Zales for MLK Day planning LexingtonMLK.org .  Congresswoman Catherine Clark will be joining Lexington for MLK Day this year.  186 of 200 spots for the Zoom meeting are already taken.  Select Board discussed having a Car Parade or limited Unity Walk, but Select Board nixed these ideas. Parade will be purely virtual this year.  Anti-racism conversation to be conducted by external group coming in for this event.  Requested if TCC could consider adding MLK Day to event/budget requests in the future (vs. Human Relations Committee as it is now).  June stated that TCC does publicity for MLK Day event and has coordinated with the Human Relations Committee.  Jill said she’s thinking there may be several events throughout the year where there might be room for collaboration between TCC and Human Relations Committee.  June said TCC may be able to promote other events using the resources, website, etc, we already have.
