ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Tolbert Commissioner Fuller Commissioner Ortiz Commissioner Muench Absent Vice Chairman Parikh Also in Attendance: Michael Semkiu, Deputy Chief of Police III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Muench and seconded by Commissioner Ortiz to approve the minutes of the November 1, 2007, meeting.

The books will be selected by the subcommittee at the March meeting. Mr. John Brennan will forward a list to the Commission as soon as it is available. "Make a Difference Day" Update No report Forum on Race & Ethnic Diversity There was a wide-ranging discussion regarding the November 2003 Forum on Race & Ethnic Diversity. The Commission would like to create a new program tailored to our needs, which would draw people from diverse communities to this event: Ms. Muench provided a list of questions from the 2003 Forum that could be used by the vendor to formulate a program to meet our needs. Ms. Muench suggested initial programs, further follow-up and the use of Village resources to assist: She feels with planning, a program set in place can go beyond the forum with dialogue addressing diversity issues. Ms. Fuller indicated that the initial forum was framework for either the Commission or Village to take further action. Ms. Ortiz questioned the goal of the activities, who it is we are trying to reach and what comes next: Ms. Muench stated the Interfaith Council is active in this area and discussed Des Plaines activities, which have been successful. She would like to have the Interfaith Council attend a meeting for the spiritual aspect of this issue. There was a discussion on Village Staff attending diversity training. The Chairman and Ms. Muench would like to discuss this with the Mayor to determine her interest: Ms. Fuller said we have to start from the 2003 Forum and look for a link to grow and go further. Ms. Muench suggested asking the vendor/instructor where they go next: The Chairman said he is not sure if this is a CRC responsibility The Commission can open the doors for people to go forward and provide resources, but the Commission does not have the funds for activities. The first step can be provided, but it is up to the individual to take the next step. Ms. Muench feels change starts with a small group, Ms Page 1 of 2 Minutes Page 2 March 6, 2007 Ortiz feels the program is too broad, and Ms. Fuller wants to know more. It will be determined whether Rita Starr, a vendorlinstructor, should be at the next meeting to provide information regarding her program. V. NEW BUSINESS The Mayor extended an invitation to the Commission to participate in Cinco de Mayo. The Chairman will gather information regarding the celebration. When the information comes in, it will be forwarded to the members. VI. CORRESPONDENCE No Correspondence. VII.

Judy also purchased 2L bottles of Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Diet Sprite, and lemonade, all of which were consumed. Setup: Judy Thorne coordinated setup with Village staffer Carol Baldini, who used the floor plan for seating 100 people which she has on file. The theme of red, white, and blue was used with Frenchl American flag sets on each table along with bright bouquets of flowers donated by Paul Seils of Busse Flowers. American and French flags and two Savres banners were brought over from Public Works and placed along the east wall. A lectern and corded microphone were positioned at the front of the dining tables. The Sister Cities foam display boards made by Dorothy Kucera were placed on the beverage counters and on the desk and easel in the desk area in front of the kitchen. Rachel Toeppen displayed the TreelForest challenge quilts from SaYres and Mt. Prospect on easels in the closet area. Scott Russell set up a laptop computer and LCD projector on a table in the middle of the dining tables to project the students' slide show on the northwest wall. Unfortunately, people walking around before dinner obstructed the view. A large screen brought by Dave Toeppen was set up front and center after dinner for the slide show by Cindy and Brian Kie!. Denise Rano, her husband, Maura Reschke, and Judy Thorne set the tables and arranged the room in the afternoon. Commission members were asked to bring a large entree.

Ralph had to leave at 7:15 p.m., but Allan played on through dinner. Their performance was gratis in thanks for their opportunity to visit Sevres with the Community Band in 2004. Mayor Irvana Wilks gave an opening welcome before dinner. Since some of the American and French students had to leave early, they were introduced by Denise Rano before dinner and asked to describe their exchange experiences.

Announcements were made during the evening about the July 14 Bastille Day Concert (Judy) and the French Family Festival on July 16 at the library (Mary Ann).

The soonest date to view a presentation is June 11th at the Grayslake Public Library. I plan on attending, however, I would still recommend arranging a date with our library as well as Mr. Popowits as soon as possible to ensure an event in the fall (i.e. mid- September to mid-October). Marci said her schedule is already filling up for those months. The cost for a presentation, which includes the speaker's arrival 30 minutes early to set-up and a 30-minutes Q & A session after the program would be $220. As I mentioned before, this is mainly calculated by the travel time to the library from Mr. Popowits's office. Mary-Anne and John did recall his presentation from last year correctly: On August 28, 2007, he did the program "Pack Like a Pro" at the MPPL for an audience of 108. In their evaluations they gave the program an average score of 9.14 on a scale of 0-10. Let me know what you and the Commission members think and I can make the necessary arrangements. Thanks, Felicien "Transparent Translations" LNF Translations Mount Prospect, Illinois, 60056 U.s.A.
