Application for Reappointment to the Commission on Disability I would like to continue to serve on the Commission on Disability. As the only Deaf inember on the Commission, I will continue to advocate for accessibility for those of us with hearing loss. Prior to the pandemic, I worked with the library to revise signage denoting the looped room and was able to get patrons listening devices to borrow. Since the pandemic, I have advocated for closed captions for Zoom events or CART (computer-assisted realtime translation) at in-person events. I am active in the Boston chapter of the Association of Late-Deafened Adults and the Hearing Loss Association of America as well as the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and more attention is now being paid to the intersectionality of Mental Illness and Hearing Loss. I would also like to continue to serve as a member of the COD/HRC work group. TOWN OF LEXINGTON APPLICATION FUR REAPPQINTMEI�IT FQ►R BOARUfCOMMITT�E MEMBERSHIF BOaY(UCOMI711tt�� .

All vendors must comply with the rules as stated. Market Products I. Producer Only: The Lexington Farmers' Market only allows farmers and vendors who grow or produce what they sell. A. For farmers, this means grown or raised on their own farm. 1. It is expected that all farmers clearly state the location of all properties where they farm, including leased land. In the case of leased properties, farmers will also be required to provide contact information for the property owners. The market may also require copies of lease agreements for those properties. Leased properties are subject to inspections or visits, as is any property owned by the farmer (see section III). 2. Produce must be picked by the grower, a person living in the household, or employed by the farmer. Special permission may be given to include items grown or produced by immediate family members (spouse, siblings, children, parents) if operations are interconnected or cooperative agreements have been formed. Reselling from supply farms, wholesale markets, or other sources is not allowed (see exception stated in part C). B. For food vendors, this means selling something that has been created or produced by the vendor from other ingredients. Preference is given to vendors who make physical changes to raw ingredients through cooking, baking, pickling, etc. and make every reasonable effort to use local fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and other agricultural commodities produced on local farms whenever possible. C. Producer-Only Exception: With prior approval of the Market Manager, farmers are permitted to bring and sell three (3) items that they do not grow or raise themselves, but are grown/produced on a neighboring local farm. Approved items must be labeled with additional farm's name and location on market days. 1. Each type of a product is a different item, but multiple flavors/varieties can be brought for each type. For example, Chevre Goat Cheese in Garlic and Herbs and Gingered Honey would be one item, but Feta Goat Cheese would be considered a second item.Additionally, the percentage of products sold from neighboring, local farms can not exceed 33% of overall products available at the market. D. Final product approval will be made by LFM Market Management to ensure market integrity and producer-only sales practices. l�x� �ar,�'M�.-ket- ��lli 2021 Lexington Farmers' Market Thanksgiving FEASTival II.

Quock Walker Day. It is little known that on July 8, 1783,the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the Constitution of the Commonwealth's Declaration of Rights rendered slavery unconstitutional. Quock Walker,who was barn to enslaved Black parents in Massachusetts,was the driving farce behind this ruling. At 28 years old, after being promised his freedom on multiple occasions,Walker self-emancipated. When his former enslaver found him,Walker sued for his freedom. Following a jury trial,Walker was found a free man. William Cushing,the chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court,wrote regarding the Quock Walker case, "...there can be no such thing as perpetual servitude of a rational creature." This critical decision served as the precedent that ended slavery in the Commonwealth on constitutional grounds and led to Massachusetts becoming the first state in the nation to abolish slavery. Similar to Patriots Day, Quock Walker Day marks a seminal moment in the march towards freedom in America. The Lexington Select Board believes this is an important recognition which demonstrates the Commonwealth's commitment to a11 residents. In light of Quock Walker's significant place in our history,it is altogether fitting that we should officially mark this monumental step toward justice each year. Massachusetts Emancipation Day, a.k.a. Quock Wallcer Day will celebrate the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision of July 8, 1783, effectively ending slavery in Massachusetts. Thank you for your consideration of this request and your support of H.3117 and 5.2059. Sincerely, Jill L Hai, Chair pouglas M. Lucente,Vice-Chair Joseph N. Pato Suzanne E. Barry Mark D.
