Mona and Tanya described the Human Rights Committee and its activities and asked if the Town Celebrations Committee would be willing to collaborate with the Human Rights Committee in future activities. The TCC voted to become a collaborative partner with the Human Rights Committee. The vote will be confirmed at the next TCC meeting. • Lorain asked TCC members to send her any invoices they may have for purchases for the committee so she can make a final consolidated report to the Select Board for payment. • Lorain reminded the committee that our next meeting on May 27 will include approving any outstanding minutes and election of officers. • Jill Hai reported that she has identified a possible place to store the Patriots Day banners: the carriage house at the Community Center. Jill said that Mike Cronin, Director of Public Facilities, will be in contact with Lorain. • After some discussion about what TCC equipment needs to be stored, in addition to the banners, and the fact that TCC will need easy access to the storage location, it was determined that Lorain needs to set up a meeting with Mike Cronin and Christine Dean to further discuss our storage needs. • Jill suggested that the TCC compile a list of all the equipment and items needing storage and give it to her so she can continue looking into storage locations in town. Memorial Day 2020 (May 25, 2020): • Lorain asked the committee to distribute the article Linda Dixon has written about the Memorial Day video to their online contacts. • Linda mentioned that the Lexington Minuteman paper has asked for photos of this year's Memorial Day preparations so they can publish a photo spread about the activities in next week's paper. Glen Bassett volunteered to capture some still photos from the video after it is released by Lex Media. June will give Glen the online location of the video so he can download it.
