gave a brief summary of how the CRC was started and what it accomplished last
year
{
The committee voted unanimosly to meet on the first Thursday of each month, until
there is a need to meet more than once a month CRC will try to have their meetings
at Esterbrooke Hall. Sheila Busa will be acting secretary until someone else volunteers
David Wilson received and read the charge from Howard Kassler
"Resolved that the Community Relations Committee investigate
equal opportunities within the town of Lexington for all her
citizens with specific emphasis on minorities, individuals and
families "
All present seemed uncomfortable with this charge, felt it was rather vague in
what the Selectmen wanted us to do Some we dissapointed that we received a charge
from the Selectmen, would rather of had the meetings opened to the public to see what
they wanted us to do. Dave will call Howard Kassler for a better definition.
The meeting was then opened to discussion on issues where no dialogue had previously
existed.
o A father involved in Yelp commented on his satisfaction with the
results and workings of committee
o Some in Youth Advisory group were dissatisfied, we are not sure
what particular objections were
a Tom expressed the word "Dichotomy" and how each person has
his own point of view
o Also reverse discrimination and how some people feel cheated in that way
Next Scheduled Meeting will be February 3 at 8.00 PM in Esterbrooke Hall.
