Discussed possible participates for the panel part of our program. Paula Chambers has
agreed to be on the panel. We are looking for a young adult, a representative of the
homeless community, and a high school student. We definitely want to have persons of
color, and possibly representation from the LGBTQ community on the panel or present
in the audience for the discussion part of our program.
Trish will invite the Power Chords to sing near the end of the program.
We want to invite members of the LHRC to take six pictures of folks around Laconia, to
be put in a pictorial collage at the end of the program.
We will have our solidarity march at the end of the event.
We discussed how to invite different facets of the community to feel welcome and
invited to participate in the open discussion after the panel presentation. Trish will reach
out to the Community Resource group to encourage them to let their own groups know
about our hope for community inclusion in our discussions at our three MLK, Jr events in
January.
