They were agreeable to a group setting- Each commission member asked a question of their choice. After we were finished,they left. We made a first and second choice_ Marie will forward this information to Sherrie. An activity the commission should consider is a more structured process to interview candidates. We like the informal process, but being more prepared would give us a better idea of what to look for in our candidates. Marie announced that Gail hadn't been at the past several meetings as a member of her family has become very ill. Since Gail has moved out of the city, her membership would expire at the end of 1995.

As with last year, this year's Diversity Awareness Award will be offered in conjunction with a Diversity Awareness Poster Contest. On behalf of the Maplewood Human Relations Commission, I invite your school to submit an application for participation in either or both programs. Submissions are due February 1, 1996. The Diversity Awareness Award recognizes students and/or educators of elementary and secondary schools for their efforts to demonstrate an awareness of diversity in our society. The Diversity Poster Contest will provide an opportunity for students in grades K-6 to express their insight on diversity in an artistic manner. Both projects are a cooperative venture with the Commission, City Council and local schools which provides an opportunity for educators to incorporate diversity into the curriculum. In the near future a Commission member will contact you to discuss this project and answer any questions you may have. You may also contact Sherrie Le at Maplewood City Hall (770- 4524) with questions. We look forward to your participation!
