2-MHRC Business Meeting 5/3/83
Review of goals. Well on our way tofulfilling them.
Membership
. t There is concern about new Council appointee position. To be an active, valuable
member of the MHRC it is necessary to be more than civic minded; you have to
maintain an unbiased, non-judgemental attitude in all facets of our activities.
Larsen will communicate this concern to Council on Thursday.
HR Legislation
Call our legislators and inform them of our concerns. Fischer approached DFL
District Committe at March meeting. Sent letter to both representatives
encouraging their support.
Next meeting June 7, 1983.
