1
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:49,680
Are we ready, Sandy? I'm

2
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,480
listening.

3
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,939
Okay, we're getting started.

4
00:08:52,939 --> 00:08:53,680
Good.

5
00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:00,051
Yes.

6
00:09:00,051 --> 00:09:02,242
Hello everyone. Welcome to the Danvers

7
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:03,867
Accessibility Commission meeting

8
00:09:03,867 --> 00:09:08,446
. It is Thursday, September 24,

9
00:09:08,446 --> 00:09:11,676
2026. Present are myself, JD,

10
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:14,260
I am the president. There's Christie.

11
00:09:14,260 --> 00:09:16,914
There's Amy. Matt's there. Gardner is

12
00:09:16,914 --> 00:09:20,372
virtual. Karen should arrive a little

13
00:09:20,372 --> 00:09:23,360
later. We're not counting on Bond today.

14
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,574
And Ellie.

15
00:09:24,574 --> 00:09:26,514
yes, is she on the way?

16
00:09:26,514 --> 00:09:27,572
He said it's on its way.

17
00:09:27,572 --> 00:09:29,342
Oh, Ellie. Ellie.

18
00:09:29,342 --> 00:09:32,229
I'm on my way. I've been working virtually since...

19
00:09:32,229 --> 00:09:33,783
Okay, yes, don't worry. No

20
00:09:33,783 --> 00:09:35,840
problem. And we also have Ellie

21
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,404
here. Very good. So, the next step

22
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:41,264
is just the approval of the

23
00:09:41,264 --> 00:09:51,219
meeting minutes. Okay, we'll postpone that.

24
00:09:51,219 --> 00:09:52,740
We will postpone the approval of the

25
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:55,509
minutes until the next meeting. There is no

26
00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:57,061
one from the public here now,

27
00:09:57,061 --> 00:09:59,740
so there are no public comments.

28
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,592
Incident reports: there are no reports

29
00:10:02,592 --> 00:10:06,286
, so that's great news. Okay,

30
00:10:06,286 --> 00:10:09,389
this is something quick. Next

31
00:10:09,389 --> 00:10:12,210
Wednesday morning I will be attending

32
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:14,734
the Danvers Traffic Advisory Committee meeting

33
00:10:14,734 --> 00:10:18,676
. Just to talk

34
00:10:18,676 --> 00:10:21,914
about our connection with them and for them to

35
00:10:21,914 --> 00:10:25,152
raise issues where they're

36
00:10:25,152 --> 00:10:28,189
unsure what to prioritize. So,

37
00:10:28,189 --> 00:10:29,770
basically strengthening that

38
00:10:29,770 --> 00:10:33,046
relationship. I'll talk to them about the hike

39
00:10:33,046 --> 00:10:35,869
and potentially about what

40
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:39,335
the next one would be like and where it could be. That

41
00:10:39,335 --> 00:10:43,160
kind of thing, and see what they propose.

42
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,619
That's how it is.

43
00:10:44,619 --> 00:10:46,314
Regarding that, Aaron contacted me and

44
00:10:46,314 --> 00:10:48,640
asked us to do it.

45
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,139
Fantastic.

46
00:10:50,139 --> 00:10:52,099
JD will do it.

47
00:10:52,099 --> 00:10:53,624
Yes, and we also have a consultant

48
00:10:53,624 --> 00:10:59,179
there. I'll try to get, you know...

49
00:10:59,179 --> 00:11:01,446
the associated meetings. So that's

50
00:11:01,446 --> 00:11:03,487
all that's going on. If

51
00:11:03,487 --> 00:11:06,007
anyone wants me to mention anything at that

52
00:11:06,007 --> 00:11:08,149
meeting, feel free to

53
00:11:08,149 --> 00:11:10,543
email me or anything,

54
00:11:10,543 --> 00:11:12,811
but we can move on to the

55
00:11:12,811 --> 00:11:20,272
planning phase. So, at

56
00:11:20,272 --> 00:11:24,109
this point, we're focusing on advertising,

57
00:11:24,109 --> 00:11:28,047
promotion, and details of what will be

58
00:11:28,047 --> 00:11:32,542
at the event. I asked Von to

59
00:11:32,542 --> 00:11:35,708
look up prices for

60
00:11:35,708 --> 00:11:39,754
easel-style signs. They seem to be annoyingly

61
00:11:39,754 --> 00:11:43,322
expensive. Most likely we'll spend

62
00:11:43,322 --> 00:11:46,039
the rest of the budget on just two

63
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,830
signs. Hmm. And I know we need

64
00:11:50,830 --> 00:11:52,005
part of that budget for

65
00:11:52,005 --> 00:11:54,340
snacks and water.

66
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:57,007
Although I am also completely

67
00:11:57,007 --> 00:11:59,987
willing to donate the snacks and

68
00:11:59,987 --> 00:12:01,061
water. Alright

69
00:12:01,061 --> 00:12:01,679
.

70
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,433
Yes, we've been... I feel the same way

71
00:12:03,433 --> 00:12:06,003
. I feel like I do. Get

72
00:12:06,003 --> 00:12:06,729
some posters.

73
00:12:06,729 --> 00:12:08,920
Costco snacks, water, and all that.

74
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,380
Yes. I do

75
00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:11,120
n't want to spend too much.

76
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,571
Uh, but...I think I have something to

77
00:12:14,571 --> 00:12:21,199
add. Well, it's not really the

78
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:29,530
votes, it's because of...it's something dark. Uh...Uh,

79
00:12:29,530 --> 00:12:33,634
she sent me the thing about the posters. Um,

80
00:12:33,634 --> 00:12:35,874
I'm wondering if, you know, if we did

81
00:12:35,874 --> 00:12:38,232
something like that, if we made one that was

82
00:12:38,232 --> 00:12:40,140
reusable.

83
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:42,505
TRUE. I think they're all like...

84
00:12:42,505 --> 00:12:45,280
basically sliding into the poster.

85
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,015
Oh, but I mean...ah, you mean the

86
00:12:47,015 --> 00:12:50,084
plastic ones. Uh, I was even

87
00:12:50,084 --> 00:12:53,828
thinking about the poster too. and set

88
00:12:53,828 --> 00:12:55,929
only a schedule and a

89
00:12:55,929 --> 00:12:58,499
temporary location on the outside.

90
00:12:58,499 --> 00:13:01,939
Ah, I see.

91
00:13:01,939 --> 00:13:05,189
But the sign itself costs about

92
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:09,300
$20. at home.

93
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:10,082
Oh, okay.

94
00:13:10,082 --> 00:13:11,738
The sign, and then...

95
00:13:11,738 --> 00:13:13,299
Oh, the sign, yes.

96
00:13:13,299 --> 00:13:16,957
Um...I got my laptop because I thought I might be able to

97
00:13:16,957 --> 00:13:20,019
use it and...I couldn't

98
00:13:20,019 --> 00:13:22,765
connect it to anything at all. Uh, the

99
00:13:22,765 --> 00:13:26,279
...Easel.

100
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:27,599
Yes, the sandwich-style easel sign

101
00:13:27,599 --> 00:13:28,340
. It

102
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:30,240
costs 38.

103
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,379
oh.

104
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:34,389
So it's not as prohibitively

105
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:37,400
expensive as the one across the street.

106
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,900
Hey, the one across the street.

107
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,223
The only thing I was thinking is that

108
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:45,362
we could also opt for a whiteboard and

109
00:13:45,362 --> 00:13:47,686
write on it, so we don't have to

110
00:13:47,686 --> 00:13:51,854
deal with printing posters. I don't know if

111
00:13:51,854 --> 00:13:54,953
anyone has artistic skills and

112
00:13:54,953 --> 00:13:57,921
would like to draw on the blackboard. I mean

113
00:13:57,921 --> 00:14:00,741
, absolutely. Yes. Okay.

114
00:14:00,741 --> 00:14:03,081
Uh, I don't have those skills. I

115
00:14:03,081 --> 00:14:05,496
would have to find out how much a

116
00:14:05,496 --> 00:14:07,240
whiteboard costs.

117
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,162
Yes, I can look that up too. We'll

118
00:14:09,162 --> 00:14:12,879
take care of ordering it. Um... Just to

119
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:15,354
be clear, are these for

120
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:17,893
promotional purposes? Would you put them indoors

121
00:14:17,893 --> 00:14:20,619
or outdoors?

122
00:14:20,619 --> 00:14:21,901
I think one in front. Out here

123
00:14:21,901 --> 00:14:23,157
or something so

124
00:14:23,157 --> 00:14:24,311
people know they're in the

125
00:14:24,311 --> 00:14:26,779
right place. I didn't know if it was in

126
00:14:26,779 --> 00:14:29,666
anticipation of the fact that, sometimes, you know,

127
00:14:29,666 --> 00:14:32,628
theater productions have those

128
00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:35,959
posters and things like that. Uh, to spread

129
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:39,000
the word instead of using the banner.

130
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,521
Funny and, you know, it says we'd think we'd

131
00:14:40,521 --> 00:14:43,040
need two.

132
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,324
Uh...It's not in this

133
00:14:46,324 --> 00:14:48,199
email, but I think the idea was to

134
00:14:48,199 --> 00:14:49,780
have one at the town hall.

135
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:50,800
Mhm.

136
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,822
uh, before the event and then have one

137
00:14:53,822 --> 00:14:56,924
here so people know that, oops,

138
00:14:56,924 --> 00:14:59,973
sorry. Just so people know,

139
00:14:59,973 --> 00:15:01,922
I physically own three of

140
00:15:01,922 --> 00:15:03,774
those white A-frames, so don't

141
00:15:03,774 --> 00:15:06,713
buy them. They're, ah, they're from, if you can

142
00:15:06,713 --> 00:15:08,703
send me the size of the sign,

143
00:15:08,703 --> 00:15:10,920
I'll check it tomorrow, but they're about 4

144
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,558
feet tall, or 3 feet, I guess. But

145
00:15:13,558 --> 00:15:15,179
they're the plastic A-frames you

146
00:15:15,179 --> 00:15:16,933
see all over town when you look at things

147
00:15:16,933 --> 00:15:18,921
on the sidewalk. I have three of them.

148
00:15:18,921 --> 00:15:20,839
They can borrow them if they want.

149
00:15:20,839 --> 00:15:21,440
That's great.

150
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,869
Then that's perfect.

151
00:15:22,869 --> 00:15:25,089
The poster measures 24 by 36.

152
00:15:25,089 --> 00:15:27,056
Okay. Then these will do the trick. They're

153
00:15:27,056 --> 00:15:28,747
fine. I use them for Trask Stock, so

154
00:15:28,747 --> 00:15:30,160
...

155
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,850
Amazing. Good.

156
00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:32,709
Thanks, Arnie.

157
00:15:32,709 --> 00:15:33,564
That's fantastic. You are

158
00:15:33,564 --> 00:15:34,800
welcome.

159
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240
Because with three, we could put one

160
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,809
at the front, one at the end of Stone Street

161
00:15:39,809 --> 00:15:42,594
to entice people to turn. And then

162
00:15:42,594 --> 00:15:44,044
, yes, one at the town hall or something like that

163
00:15:44,044 --> 00:15:44,340
.

164
00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:47,732
We could also move them. And before

165
00:15:47,732 --> 00:15:49,786
, for example, with

166
00:15:49,786 --> 00:15:51,787
theatrical productions, we obviously need

167
00:15:51,787 --> 00:15:55,947
permission from the library. So, the

168
00:15:55,947 --> 00:15:58,184
typical thing to do is put them in front of the

169
00:15:58,184 --> 00:16:00,309
high school because that attracts a lot of people...

170
00:16:00,309 --> 00:16:02,279
that really works.

171
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:04,263
Yes, we could put the one I'm proposing

172
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:06,194
at the end of the street somewhere

173
00:16:06,194 --> 00:16:07,460
visible, or move it...

174
00:16:07,460 --> 00:16:09,980
And then we could move it there.

175
00:16:09,980 --> 00:16:12,079
I like that idea.

176
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:13,745
Okay, then all that's left is to place the

177
00:16:13,745 --> 00:16:16,887
order. Uh, and I don't mind taking care

178
00:16:16,887 --> 00:16:18,180
of that. Um.

179
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:20,091
Let me do it, since I have the check

180
00:16:20,091 --> 00:16:20,300
.

181
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,500
Ah, that's right.

182
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,983
So, I can pay directly with

183
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:26,542
my credit card. And that will cover it,

184
00:16:26,542 --> 00:16:28,010
yes, I'll take care of printing

185
00:16:28,010 --> 00:16:30,563
the posters. I did three things so that

186
00:16:30,563 --> 00:16:32,220
we can enlarge them.

187
00:16:32,220 --> 00:16:32,839
Beautiful.

188
00:16:32,839 --> 00:16:37,400
Very good, Jen. And those QR codes

189
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,389
work very well.

190
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:38,969
Yes.

191
00:16:38,969 --> 00:16:40,179
Great. I

192
00:16:40,179 --> 00:16:42,158
know I've been testing it, I don't want to

193
00:16:42,158 --> 00:16:44,137
do it too many times, but just in case

194
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:45,810
, it does work.

195
00:16:45,810 --> 00:16:48,847
I think the test we did is still

196
00:16:48,847 --> 00:16:51,884
triggering an email we

197
00:16:51,884 --> 00:16:53,216
received in...

198
00:16:53,216 --> 00:16:53,899
Oh no.

199
00:16:53,899 --> 00:16:55,230
The accessibility commission's account is checked

200
00:16:55,230 --> 00:16:57,021
every day, as if

201
00:16:57,021 --> 00:16:58,766
someone were trying...where are

202
00:16:58,766 --> 00:17:01,000
people coming from? And I thought, wait, I get an

203
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,233
email every day about this.

204
00:17:02,233 --> 00:17:04,043
Yes, no, it goes directly to the

205
00:17:04,043 --> 00:17:04,653
Facebook group.

206
00:17:04,653 --> 00:17:09,289
Perfect. Okay. Brilliant. And then, that

207
00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:15,480
's fantastic. That covers the signs.

208
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,130
Shelby also printed some of

209
00:17:17,130 --> 00:17:18,914
these and took them to various locations around

210
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:20,040
the city.

211
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,940
Ah, okay.

212
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:23,168
And I left, I left one of the ones I

213
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:26,360
have. I have 10 more here. Uh, I'm going to

214
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:28,081
make some this weekend if there isn't too

215
00:17:28,081 --> 00:17:30,520
much of a storm.

216
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,761
Oh yes, the northeast storm.

217
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:34,852
So it's a trip for the

218
00:17:34,852 --> 00:17:35,499
cake tour.

219
00:17:35,499 --> 00:17:36,231
Oh, man.

220
00:17:36,231 --> 00:17:37,329
We can get it cancelled.

221
00:17:37,329 --> 00:17:39,981
Mike, do you have a digital copy of...

222
00:17:39,981 --> 00:17:40,639
Yes.

223
00:17:40,639 --> 00:17:40,899
That?

224
00:17:40,899 --> 00:17:41,240
Yes.

225
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:41,596
Send it to me.

226
00:17:41,596 --> 00:17:41,936
Yes.

227
00:17:41,936 --> 00:17:43,853
Ah, you have it. Alright. Yes,

228
00:17:43,853 --> 00:17:45,027
I was going to let you send it to me, but

229
00:17:45,027 --> 00:17:49,365
yes, just send it. All of this. But, uh

230
00:17:49,365 --> 00:17:51,663
, no, I don't know if you saw that I added a

231
00:17:51,663 --> 00:17:54,062
lot of things to the to-do list. I did it

232
00:17:54,062 --> 00:17:55,377
. Thank you.

233
00:17:55,377 --> 00:17:56,977
Those were mostly with my name next to them

234
00:17:56,977 --> 00:17:58,620
, just so people would know

235
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:01,403
who to contact. Uh, so we're

236
00:18:01,403 --> 00:18:03,544
with the superintendent of Granby and the

237
00:18:03,544 --> 00:18:05,560
high school principal.

238
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,339
Yes.

239
00:18:06,339 --> 00:18:09,069
Uh, I also have all these

240
00:18:09,069 --> 00:18:11,855
emails ready to send. I just

241
00:18:11,855 --> 00:18:13,644
wanted to wait until now, about 3

242
00:18:13,644 --> 00:18:15,387
weeks before the event, to send them so that it's

243
00:18:15,387 --> 00:18:17,176
more present and closer to the

244
00:18:17,176 --> 00:18:20,125
date. So yes, the superintendent

245
00:18:20,125 --> 00:18:22,224
, the high school principal, uh,

246
00:18:22,224 --> 00:18:24,689
Danvers Cares, who covers a lot of people.

247
00:18:24,689 --> 00:18:31,066
Uh...HRIC, but should I contact them

248
00:18:31,066 --> 00:18:34,560
or have you already notified them?

249
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,040
We were at the meeting.

250
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,519
Oh, yes.

251
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,335
so I gave them an update

252
00:18:40,335 --> 00:18:43,080
about the library and Amy talked about

253
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,096
the connection between...suicide and

254
00:18:48,096 --> 00:18:49,650
disabilities, and the importance of

255
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,161
talking about National

256
00:18:51,161 --> 00:18:53,746
Suicide Prevention Month. And we

257
00:18:53,746 --> 00:18:56,631
gave everyone copies of this. And that's

258
00:18:56,631 --> 00:18:58,272
where Lieutenant Silva

259
00:18:58,272 --> 00:18:58,780
told them.

260
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:00,700
Yes, yes. Oh, that's great.

261
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:01,901
Lieutenant Silva believes it's going to be a

262
00:19:01,901 --> 00:19:04,779
problem.

263
00:19:04,779 --> 00:19:06,866
So we, oh, and then it was just

264
00:19:06,866 --> 00:19:08,902
that we were, we had already talked to

265
00:19:08,902 --> 00:19:10,280
...

266
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,247
I, yeah, and they have a new liaison at

267
00:19:12,247 --> 00:19:14,320
HRIC from the high school, so

268
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,380
...

269
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:17,319
Oh, that's fine.

270
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:18,639
And I told her...

271
00:19:18,639 --> 00:19:20,520
Yes, she took one of the flyers and I

272
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,155
also emailed it to her

273
00:19:22,155 --> 00:19:24,780
. Oh, also, something

274
00:19:24,780 --> 00:19:26,322
totally unexpected, but I

275
00:19:26,322 --> 00:19:27,954
sent it to my son's English teacher

276
00:19:27,954 --> 00:19:29,360
too, because I had to

277
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,083
explain to him why I wasn't going to be at

278
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:33,814
today's parents' meeting. And

279
00:19:33,814 --> 00:19:35,175
she shared it; He is finding out

280
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:36,429
if the school will publish it in St.

281
00:19:36,429 --> 00:19:36,900
John's.

282
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:39,860
Oh, that's great. Thank you. Okay, so

283
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:41,781
yeah, can we quickly review the list of

284
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:43,809
people

285
00:19:43,809 --> 00:19:45,932
who were added? So, the

286
00:19:45,932 --> 00:19:49,364
superintendent, oh yes, the

287
00:19:49,364 --> 00:19:51,299
Peabody Essex Street Library.

288
00:19:51,299 --> 00:19:52,461
Yes.

289
00:19:52,461 --> 00:19:54,481
Should I do it myself or just

290
00:19:54,481 --> 00:19:57,339
send it to the, uh, the trustees?

291
00:19:57,339 --> 00:20:00,922
Uh, I can bring one myself. Um, I think

292
00:20:00,922 --> 00:20:03,846
you'd want to send it to the

293
00:20:03,846 --> 00:20:06,012
principal. I don't think so, the trustees are

294
00:20:06,012 --> 00:20:07,164
n't going to publish it. I mean, you could

295
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:09,460
send it to the trustees. Um. I

296
00:20:09,460 --> 00:20:10,600
simply didn't know how

297
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,859
the hierarchy worked there, I sent.

298
00:20:11,859 --> 00:20:13,256
Them.

299
00:20:13,256 --> 00:20:15,234
To the president, I think Noel is the

300
00:20:15,234 --> 00:20:15,956
president.

301
00:20:15,956 --> 00:20:16,369
Yes.

302
00:20:16,369 --> 00:20:17,743
And the trustees right now?

303
00:20:17,743 --> 00:20:19,299
Oh, good. Noel is definitely the

304
00:20:19,299 --> 00:20:24,499
president. Um, we're

305
00:20:24,499 --> 00:20:30,760
Danvers' account, they agreed to share it. Um. Oh,

306
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,160
yes. And then Pastor Pam at

307
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:39,499
Maple Street Church, oh. Um, her. Um,

308
00:20:39,499 --> 00:20:40,857
I can contact her, unless someone

309
00:20:40,857 --> 00:20:42,145
else has a close relationship with

310
00:20:42,145 --> 00:20:44,000
her. I do

311
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,186
n't. In fact, I had, uh, a

312
00:20:48,186 --> 00:20:52,897
relationship, at least a professional one, with

313
00:20:52,897 --> 00:20:57,236
Pastor Borges at Gillette.

314
00:20:57,236 --> 00:20:58,270
Who was Pastor Borges?

315
00:20:58,270 --> 00:20:58,974
Yes.

316
00:20:58,974 --> 00:20:59,979
Who were Gillette and Borges?

317
00:20:59,979 --> 00:21:02,041
They were, but a good guy.

318
00:21:02,041 --> 00:21:03,020
In fact, I know him.

319
00:21:03,020 --> 00:21:04,080
I like how you thought about that.

320
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,600
Yes.

321
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,276
Um, and Side contacted him to see if he'd be

322
00:21:10,276 --> 00:21:13,256
willing to be a contact. And I'm just finding out now

323
00:21:13,256 --> 00:21:16,597
. Um, I haven't spoken

324
00:21:16,597 --> 00:21:18,980
to anyone since English Stream.

325
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:21,937
Okay, so we can mark H R I C

326
00:21:21,937 --> 00:21:23,560
, man.

327
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,680
Yes.

328
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,867
And then I'll pass them on to you for

329
00:21:25,867 --> 00:21:28,088
all those other people. I'll send

330
00:21:28,088 --> 00:21:28,440
that to them.

331
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,263
And if you want to take care of any of

332
00:21:30,263 --> 00:21:31,091
them,

333
00:21:31,091 --> 00:21:32,830
it's easy. It's the easiest thing for me to

334
00:21:32,830 --> 00:21:36,453
send. I'll probably do it on Monday

335
00:21:36,453 --> 00:21:38,069
, because Friday could get lost in the

336
00:21:38,069 --> 00:21:39,239
whole weekend. Alright

337
00:21:39,239 --> 00:21:40,440
.

338
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,840
So we'll send them on Monday. Um.

339
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,812
This high school town hall

340
00:21:46,812 --> 00:21:47,937
and library are

341
00:21:47,937 --> 00:21:53,499
somewhere. Either Join Rivers or Birch Ridge.

342
00:21:53,499 --> 00:21:55,256
Okay, and then the Facebook event,

343
00:21:55,256 --> 00:21:56,966
where we left off is that we haven't

344
00:21:56,966 --> 00:21:59,966
created it. We really can't figure out

345
00:21:59,966 --> 00:22:03,260
how to, um, add them as partners. Yes.

346
00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:05,053
Um, and I'll just send them an

347
00:22:05,053 --> 00:22:07,512
email. Yes that's fine. Know.

348
00:22:07,512 --> 00:22:09,268
Um, I should have done it already, but I

349
00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:10,449
completely forgot. I

350
00:22:10,449 --> 00:22:13,197
understand. It's really difficult

351
00:22:13,197 --> 00:22:15,295
to know which rules are flexible and

352
00:22:15,295 --> 00:22:17,439
which ones are, well, firm.

353
00:22:17,439 --> 00:22:20,179
Yes, I think we're

354
00:22:20,179 --> 00:22:21,851
fine. We are making progress with our

355
00:22:21,851 --> 00:22:23,696
event. We will do it no matter what.

356
00:22:23,696 --> 00:22:25,028
You know, after this, I think

357
00:22:25,028 --> 00:22:26,774
we're ready. It's more of a formality

358
00:22:26,774 --> 00:22:27,610
at this point.

359
00:22:27,610 --> 00:22:28,858
Yes, I don't think they'll appear at the

360
00:22:28,858 --> 00:22:31,301
hearing. TRUE. Yes, well. Our

361
00:22:31,301 --> 00:22:32,890
clients

362
00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:35,755
, and I had my, uh, book club

363
00:22:35,755 --> 00:22:36,590
with them.

364
00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:37,206
Oh.

365
00:22:37,206 --> 00:22:38,586
So that was very interesting.

366
00:22:38,586 --> 00:22:39,205
Yes.

367
00:22:39,205 --> 00:22:41,163
Uh, it was like a room, uh, you know, a

368
00:22:41,163 --> 00:22:43,227
Zoom room full of, I don't know,

369
00:22:43,227 --> 00:22:44,810
I'd say about 40 people.

370
00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:45,460
Wow. We

371
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:46,637
all had our

372
00:22:46,637 --> 00:22:49,364
book titles. Uh, and they were people who were

373
00:22:49,364 --> 00:22:51,433
instructors, people who have

374
00:22:51,433 --> 00:22:54,679
upcoming events and things like that. And then they

375
00:22:54,679 --> 00:22:56,826
put us in small groups

376
00:22:56,826 --> 00:23:00,219
after the initial welcome. And I

377
00:23:00,219 --> 00:23:04,474
was with our instructor, who was a

378
00:23:04,474 --> 00:23:07,104
woman with autism from Colorado. I was

379
00:23:07,104 --> 00:23:09,931
with a woman with schizophrenia from

380
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:13,000
London and then another woman who was born

381
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,827
in Ecuador, lived in Switzerland for 25

382
00:23:15,827 --> 00:23:18,653
years and now lives in Scotland and is a

383
00:23:18,653 --> 00:23:22,877
medium. So it was a

384
00:23:22,877 --> 00:23:24,522
really interesting conversation and there were a lot of

385
00:23:24,522 --> 00:23:26,721
interesting connections. And what

386
00:23:26,721 --> 00:23:29,246
we were talking about, especially between the

387
00:23:29,246 --> 00:23:31,911
girl who experiences schizophrenia and

388
00:23:31,911 --> 00:23:34,647
the woman with the gift of mediumship, is that

389
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:38,803
both of them hear voices. They talked a lot

390
00:23:38,803 --> 00:23:40,738
about it, and what happened to the girl

391
00:23:40,738 --> 00:23:42,574
with schizophrenia was that she had a

392
00:23:42,574 --> 00:23:45,280
really, really intense depression.

393
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,760
One time she was so desperate

394
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,200
that she booked a trip to South America

395
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,930
for an ayahuasca retreat. And the

396
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:55,314
woman from Ecuador said, "Oh, no." And

397
00:23:55,314 --> 00:23:58,157
then he did the ayahuasca retreat. And

398
00:23:58,157 --> 00:24:00,115
apparently, according to her, it cured her of

399
00:24:00,115 --> 00:24:01,534
depression, but she developed

400
00:24:01,534 --> 00:24:06,025
schizophrenia. And she does have, or had,

401
00:24:06,025 --> 00:24:09,123
schizophrenia or something similar in some

402
00:24:09,123 --> 00:24:12,504
way. So, perhaps it was some

403
00:24:12,504 --> 00:24:14,672
kind of predisposition, but it was very

404
00:24:14,672 --> 00:24:17,180
interesting to hear them talk. So

405
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:19,084
, I definitely recommend

406
00:24:19,084 --> 00:24:20,932
anyone check out the

407
00:24:20,932 --> 00:24:22,948
free reading or something like that, because it was

408
00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:26,559
great. Hi Karen, welcome.

409
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:28,828
Thank you. Thank you.

410
00:24:28,828 --> 00:24:29,919
What is it?

411
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:31,439
Thank you, I'm so sorry. Do

412
00:24:31,439 --> 00:24:34,874
n't worry. So, we were

413
00:24:34,874 --> 00:24:36,747
talking about how Gardner has some

414
00:24:36,747 --> 00:24:38,669
of those billboards that we can use to

415
00:24:38,669 --> 00:24:41,159
put up our ads.

416
00:24:41,159 --> 00:24:41,740
Understood.

417
00:24:41,740 --> 00:24:43,443
Uh, and we were talking about who

418
00:24:43,443 --> 00:24:45,859
we're contacting. That is, the

419
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,820
schools, the town hall, the

420
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:52,025
library. Uh, we're Danvers, uh, one

421
00:24:52,025 --> 00:24:54,891
of the churches. So if you have

422
00:24:54,891 --> 00:24:56,599
any ideas for that,

423
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:58,399
oh, what? Perhaps also the

424
00:24:58,399 --> 00:24:59,827
cafe, like Cafe Nero, the

425
00:24:59,827 --> 00:25:03,319
cafe on High Street. Sorry? I

426
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:04,860
doubt they aren't there.

427
00:25:04,860 --> 00:25:06,040
Oh, excellent.

428
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,700
And Joni in Chi Kimello, she's great.

429
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:15,087
She would do it.

430
00:25:15,087 --> 00:25:17,058
Absolutely. Of course. That's

431
00:25:17,058 --> 00:25:18,380
where I met her. She is open and

432
00:25:18,380 --> 00:25:19,871
I met her in the cafeteria.

433
00:25:19,871 --> 00:25:20,838
What? In Chi Kimello?

434
00:25:20,838 --> 00:25:23,106
yes. Yes, go ahead. You can

435
00:25:23,106 --> 00:25:23,849
go back to the electrical part.

436
00:25:23,849 --> 00:25:26,200
Hello. Do you remember me?

437
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,496
But she has some of my old

438
00:25:27,496 --> 00:25:28,740
comics that we started with.

439
00:25:28,740 --> 00:25:30,729
Oh, incredible.

440
00:25:30,729 --> 00:25:33,649
Um, okay, so what else? Oh,

441
00:25:33,649 --> 00:25:40,904
we were just talking about...

442
00:25:40,904 --> 00:25:42,434
Uh, your open mic night.

443
00:25:42,434 --> 00:25:43,256
Oh, you're at

444
00:25:43,256 --> 00:25:43,878
open mic night.

445
00:25:43,878 --> 00:25:45,880
That's right, yes.

446
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,434
open, um, like the

447
00:25:47,434 --> 00:25:48,703
book training to which the

448
00:25:48,703 --> 00:25:50,297
human library invited us.

449
00:25:50,297 --> 00:25:51,197
Yes, yes, yes.

450
00:25:51,197 --> 00:25:52,849
I think it was really interesting.

451
00:25:52,849 --> 00:25:53,900
Oh, wow.

452
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,364
So, there was me, our

453
00:25:55,364 --> 00:25:56,874
instructor who was a woman with

454
00:25:56,874 --> 00:25:58,161
autism, then a woman with

455
00:25:58,161 --> 00:25:59,937
schizophrenia from London and a woman from

456
00:25:59,937 --> 00:26:03,186
Ecuador, those were the three of them.

457
00:26:03,186 --> 00:26:05,644
What about the women of Ecuador? I'm sorry.

458
00:26:05,644 --> 00:26:06,860
The spiritual medium. Uh-huh

459
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:07,579
. It

460
00:26:07,579 --> 00:26:10,269
was really interesting. So, if you

461
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:11,735
have the opportunity to do one,

462
00:26:11,735 --> 00:26:13,659
go for it. It's pretty cool.

463
00:26:13,659 --> 00:26:15,820
So, was the purpose of the

464
00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:17,620
books to have practical applications?

465
00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:19,396
For practice, they told us we

466
00:26:19,396 --> 00:26:21,868
shouldn't get involved. She told me

467
00:26:21,868 --> 00:26:23,773
to just reduce mine a little, and

468
00:26:23,773 --> 00:26:25,730
then told me I should do it

469
00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:27,583
instead of quadriplegic wheelchair user

470
00:26:27,583 --> 00:26:29,540
, which was between those

471
00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:31,738
two anyway. I was like, he

472
00:26:31,738 --> 00:26:33,260
kept insisting it was really

473
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:34,782
bad, so I went with the vaguest thing I

474
00:26:34,782 --> 00:26:36,221
could think of, which is that he's a

475
00:26:36,221 --> 00:26:39,153
wheelchair user. But I think it's good

476
00:26:39,153 --> 00:26:41,334
that the title does a little more

477
00:26:41,334 --> 00:26:43,515
work than that, so no, I'm going to

478
00:26:43,515 --> 00:26:45,515
do five or six photos for my

479
00:26:45,515 --> 00:26:49,246
title. Um, and we have another

480
00:26:49,246 --> 00:26:52,546
addition. Thanks to HRIC, um, a

481
00:26:52,546 --> 00:26:54,086
new site coordinator,

482
00:26:54,086 --> 00:26:55,675
Lieutenant Sullivan, whom everyone

483
00:26:55,675 --> 00:26:57,551
met at the walk audit

484
00:26:57,551 --> 00:26:59,220
. He too will be a book.

485
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:01,000
Oh, good.

486
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,080
So, that will be great. Um.

487
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,740
We talked about the Facebook event. I'm

488
00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:09,644
going to contact them about partnering up. Um,

489
00:27:09,644 --> 00:27:12,399
oh, yes, the lobby television.

490
00:27:12,399 --> 00:27:15,916
So, that's a, it's a widescreen

491
00:27:15,916 --> 00:27:18,475
like this, right? It's not like a

492
00:27:18,475 --> 00:27:19,756
rotation or anything like that.

493
00:27:19,756 --> 00:27:21,009
It's like, it's horizontal like this.

494
00:27:21,009 --> 00:27:23,051
Horizontal, okay. So, I can

495
00:27:23,051 --> 00:27:25,276
prepare something using elements from

496
00:27:25,276 --> 00:27:27,101
Ellie's steering wheel or something for the

497
00:27:27,101 --> 00:27:30,367
screen right there. But what kind

498
00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:32,607
of information do we think would be most

499
00:27:32,607 --> 00:27:36,027
beneficial? Like

500
00:27:36,027 --> 00:27:38,000
book titles or...?

501
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,786
I'm thinking that the

502
00:27:39,786 --> 00:27:41,481
librarian training they had, was a

503
00:27:41,481 --> 00:27:43,175
bit low-tech, some of

504
00:27:43,175 --> 00:27:48,064
the. They took, uh, there was like a

505
00:27:48,064 --> 00:27:50,622
voiceover over a video of a real event

506
00:27:50,622 --> 00:27:53,181
, and it was very low-tech, with, you

507
00:27:53,181 --> 00:27:55,739
know, the title of the book that you could

508
00:27:55,739 --> 00:27:57,903
, it was like a kind of

509
00:27:57,903 --> 00:28:00,039
in-and-out action.

510
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:00,859
Yes. I do

511
00:28:00,859 --> 00:28:03,703
n't know, which, actually, I kind of liked

512
00:28:03,703 --> 00:28:04,440
.

513
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,020
Yes.

514
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:06,607
Uh, I liked the low-

515
00:28:06,607 --> 00:28:07,701
tech part of that.

516
00:28:07,701 --> 00:28:08,040
Yes.

517
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,422
To be totally honest.

518
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,040
Less disappointing.

519
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,395
Yes. And then, literally just

520
00:28:13,395 --> 00:28:16,120
handle it, pick one up and check it.

521
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:17,820
Oh yes, no, that's what I meant, in

522
00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:19,720
terms of whether you just have them all up there

523
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,694
. Not necessarily what

524
00:28:22,694 --> 00:28:24,351
is available or not, just what books

525
00:28:24,351 --> 00:28:26,888
we have in general. I was thinking of

526
00:28:26,888 --> 00:28:28,774
the screen more as a

527
00:28:28,774 --> 00:28:30,209
useful accessory. There's no need.

528
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,160
Oh, okay. So, a

529
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,659
simpler version of this.

530
00:28:33,659 --> 00:28:35,643
Yes, something like that. Just like,

531
00:28:35,643 --> 00:28:37,540
just with the title text? Just the

532
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:39,194
title of the book we're making? It

533
00:28:39,194 --> 00:28:40,450
could just be the book we're

534
00:28:40,450 --> 00:28:42,159
making. Yes.

535
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:44,039
Maybe like with this.

536
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:45,287
Really like an ice cream shop menu or

537
00:28:45,287 --> 00:28:46,700
something.

538
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:48,019
Yes. Yes.

539
00:28:48,019 --> 00:28:50,418
Okay. This rolls. So,

540
00:28:50,418 --> 00:28:51,619
we could also

541
00:28:51,619 --> 00:28:53,564
use this if you want, well, it

542
00:28:53,564 --> 00:28:56,794
's on wheels. So, this

543
00:28:56,794 --> 00:28:58,656
can be used just as much as the one

544
00:28:58,656 --> 00:29:02,049
on the wall. This one is bigger.

545
00:29:02,049 --> 00:29:05,716
Actually, it's a "You can show more and it

546
00:29:05,716 --> 00:29:08,889
can be seen more easily" option. The other one

547
00:29:08,889 --> 00:29:10,073
is like a 60-inch flat screen

548
00:29:10,073 --> 00:29:10,915
.

549
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,281
That's very good. I think at one

550
00:29:13,281 --> 00:29:15,409
point we talked about maybe using one of

551
00:29:15,409 --> 00:29:17,537
those very short introductory videos

552
00:29:17,537 --> 00:29:18,861
and playing it.

553
00:29:18,861 --> 00:29:21,679
Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.

554
00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:23,405
Um, about the training sessions, uh, just so

555
00:29:23,405 --> 00:29:24,689
people have an idea,

556
00:29:24,689 --> 00:29:26,460
especially if they're waiting, like, if they

557
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:27,788
arrive here and everyone's already

558
00:29:27,788 --> 00:29:31,296
checked in. Uh, that sounds weird. Uh, and

559
00:29:31,296 --> 00:29:34,225
then I got completely distracted. Yeah,

560
00:29:34,225 --> 00:29:37,520
so there's something to see.

561
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,820
Yes, we could keep it. Well, I was going to

562
00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:43,493
say we could keep it

563
00:29:43,493 --> 00:29:45,119
silent with subtitles, but if

564
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:46,839
someone has low vision and wants to be able to

565
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,752
hear it, because I was just trying to

566
00:29:48,752 --> 00:29:50,664
reduce the noise in the lobby, but I do

567
00:29:50,664 --> 00:29:53,142
n't know. What do you think?

568
00:29:53,142 --> 00:29:54,479
I think the sound is fine.

569
00:29:54,479 --> 00:29:56,399
yes. Okay,

570
00:29:56,399 --> 00:29:56,710
yes.

571
00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:58,585
If you don't have that sound, they're just going to

572
00:29:58,585 --> 00:29:59,050
talk.

573
00:29:59,050 --> 00:29:59,840
Yes, exactly.

574
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,399
TRUE.

575
00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:02,126
So at least it keeps them

576
00:30:02,126 --> 00:30:03,201
interested

577
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:03,897
. Yes,

578
00:30:03,897 --> 00:30:05,227
in what they can expect.

579
00:30:05,227 --> 00:30:06,855
Yes, especially if you have to stand in an

580
00:30:06,855 --> 00:30:07,900
uncomfortable line.

581
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:09,743
Yes, they could listen without having to

582
00:30:09,743 --> 00:30:11,237
look, right?

583
00:30:11,237 --> 00:30:13,451
But I think two televisions in the

584
00:30:13,451 --> 00:30:15,788
lobby, one above the fireplace,

585
00:30:15,788 --> 00:30:16,688
isn't that obvious. That's right

586
00:30:16,688 --> 00:30:18,919
. Those are for entering.

587
00:30:18,919 --> 00:30:20,328
That would be better.

588
00:30:20,328 --> 00:30:21,982
Me too. But, someone I

589
00:30:21,982 --> 00:30:24,169
mentioned earlier, or this person, is sitting at the

590
00:30:24,169 --> 00:30:25,766
front of the line.

591
00:30:25,766 --> 00:30:28,619
This can go anywhere.

592
00:30:28,619 --> 00:30:31,165
Welcome. Uh, but, yes. That guy,

593
00:30:31,165 --> 00:30:32,889
one of the guys looks at the kids and

594
00:30:32,889 --> 00:30:34,613
you think, we probably all had to see that

595
00:30:34,613 --> 00:30:35,699
at least.

596
00:30:35,699 --> 00:30:37,585
Thank you. Yes, I was, I was at every

597
00:30:37,585 --> 00:30:39,120
training session.

598
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,560
And that will have subtitles, so

599
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,840
I can either ask for them or extract and

600
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,714
download it. Or I guess we can just

601
00:30:45,714 --> 00:30:46,777
go.

602
00:30:46,777 --> 00:30:48,968
Oh, that's true. Just click

603
00:30:48,968 --> 00:30:50,058
Yes, play it.

604
00:30:50,058 --> 00:30:51,469
What do you think would be easier, Matt

605
00:30:51,469 --> 00:30:55,205
? Playing a USB drive with the

606
00:30:55,205 --> 00:30:59,179
file or accessing it via the web?

607
00:30:59,179 --> 00:31:00,239
If it's a smart TV, it's

608
00:31:00,239 --> 00:31:01,620
probably a physical copy.

609
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:04,088
Yes, that's it. Not relying on Wi-Fi is

610
00:31:04,088 --> 00:31:05,300
probably better. Alright

611
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:06,980
. I think so, no problem.

612
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:08,680
And just in I'm going to

613
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,033
download the

614
00:31:10,033 --> 00:31:11,748
intro video, put it on a

615
00:31:11,748 --> 00:31:13,508
USB drive, and then you can connect it directly

616
00:31:13,508 --> 00:31:14,120
to the TV.

617
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,261
Yes. Because I'm trying to find...

618
00:31:17,261 --> 00:31:18,700
Let me guess, you can't access it.

619
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:20,581
No, I mean, I wanted to see what he

620
00:31:20,581 --> 00:31:23,275
had already posted as well. If they had

621
00:31:23,275 --> 00:31:26,479
one of those on YouTube as an intro. Um,

622
00:31:26,479 --> 00:31:29,799
instead of going through that weird website

623
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:29,985
.

624
00:31:29,985 --> 00:31:31,759
TRUE.

625
00:31:31,759 --> 00:31:32,892
You are using your browser, you are not entering

626
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:35,660
the live stream now. Just go to the live stream.

627
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:43,640
That's it, that's where the live stream is.

628
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,823
Um, we also have, oh, we have D-CAT

629
00:31:45,823 --> 00:31:48,658
. I was going to contact D-CAT as well. Let them

630
00:31:48,658 --> 00:31:50,395
come and maybe take pictures of the event

631
00:31:50,395 --> 00:31:51,116
.

632
00:31:51,116 --> 00:31:53,424
Um, Chris, the guy who won the

633
00:31:53,424 --> 00:31:55,663
504 Film Festival, is very

634
00:31:55,663 --> 00:31:57,689
interested. He wants to come and film here

635
00:31:57,689 --> 00:32:00,881
. He works with D-CAT. So I

636
00:32:00,881 --> 00:32:03,485
said to him, "Yes, come on." Then I'll

637
00:32:03,485 --> 00:32:05,219
contact him.

638
00:32:05,219 --> 00:32:07,605
One thing for both of you, I think it's

639
00:32:07,605 --> 00:32:10,426
important to let you know that you can film

640
00:32:10,426 --> 00:32:13,246
in the lobby, but you shouldn't film

641
00:32:13,246 --> 00:32:17,180
the stories.

642
00:32:17,180 --> 00:32:19,857
Yes, that's what I figured. I thought someone

643
00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:21,440
would come with a camera to

644
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,623
immortalize it a bit and show what

645
00:32:23,623 --> 00:32:24,900
we did.

646
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,259
Yes.

647
00:32:26,259 --> 00:32:27,790
And then, yeah, it was like, yeah, Chris

648
00:32:27,790 --> 00:32:29,402
can bring the camera, but it's not like you

649
00:32:29,402 --> 00:32:30,732
can film while I'm

650
00:32:30,732 --> 00:32:33,467
sitting next to me. You can get

651
00:32:33,467 --> 00:32:35,365
pictures of all of us when we get

652
00:32:35,365 --> 00:32:36,981
together, all the books.

653
00:32:36,981 --> 00:32:38,848
Yes, absolutely. And I would say that

654
00:32:38,848 --> 00:32:40,620
those of you who are books

655
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:42,543
here, if you are comfortable with

656
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:44,517
the conversation being recorded, then it

657
00:32:44,517 --> 00:32:46,793
is a possibility. I simply wouldn't

658
00:32:46,793 --> 00:32:48,464
feel comfortable looking at the rest of

659
00:32:48,464 --> 00:32:49,910
them like, "Hey, we're already

660
00:32:49,910 --> 00:32:51,754
asking you to be vulnerable. Do you

661
00:32:51,754 --> 00:32:54,139
like being filmed?"

662
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:56,635
I also thought they could film it

663
00:32:56,635 --> 00:32:59,259
in progress, but silently or something

664
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:00,920
. Yeah,

665
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,479
add a voiceover or something like that.

666
00:33:03,479 --> 00:33:06,813
Um, because I think capturing it at full

667
00:33:06,813 --> 00:33:10,459
speed would be a good idea. But

668
00:33:10,459 --> 00:33:13,027
I agree with you, you know, the

669
00:33:13,027 --> 00:33:15,210
conversations and not just us

670
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:17,521
being vulnerable, but some of

671
00:33:17,521 --> 00:33:20,089
those people asking questions that they don't

672
00:33:20,089 --> 00:33:22,336
feel comfortable asking in the

673
00:33:22,336 --> 00:33:24,890
outside world. So if we take that away

674
00:33:24,890 --> 00:33:26,376
, it's like, yes, being aware of

675
00:33:26,376 --> 00:33:27,861
a camera changes

676
00:33:27,861 --> 00:33:28,360
someone's behavior.

677
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,780
Yes, absolutely. I do

678
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:31,680
n't think I want to do that. I

679
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,479
just went by and kind of did an

680
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:37,354
aerial view and then just to get, like I

681
00:33:37,354 --> 00:33:42,260
said, the whole process.

682
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:45,040
As Mel said, it's like we're

683
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,229
following the readers as they enter the

684
00:33:48,229 --> 00:33:50,839
room and something like that.

685
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:52,979
I wonder if we could even—this

686
00:33:52,979 --> 00:33:55,120
might be too complicated—have

687
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,153
like a message on the screen or something

688
00:33:57,153 --> 00:33:59,294
that just says, you know, you might see

689
00:33:59,294 --> 00:34:01,381
someone filming, no audio will be recorded

690
00:34:01,381 --> 00:34:03,579
or anything like that.

691
00:34:03,579 --> 00:34:05,179
Yes.

692
00:34:05,179 --> 00:34:06,495
The books would know it beforehand,

693
00:34:06,495 --> 00:34:09,440
but only for the people who arrive.

694
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,457
Yes, okay, like a legal notice

695
00:34:11,457 --> 00:34:13,583
saying that we will not record any

696
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:15,709
of the conversations, only obtaining

697
00:34:15,709 --> 00:34:17,600
general images of the event.

698
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,400
Mhm.

699
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,449
Brilliant. I like that idea. Um, we talked

700
00:34:22,449 --> 00:34:26,120
about sandwiches and water. Um,

701
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,540
we talked about that last time.

702
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:33,354
And then, the images from the event. Um, I

703
00:34:33,354 --> 00:34:34,453
was just kind of

704
00:34:34,453 --> 00:34:36,131
diving right into it. I don't

705
00:34:36,131 --> 00:34:38,265
know what else we have on our

706
00:34:38,265 --> 00:34:40,072
checklist that we need to

707
00:34:40,072 --> 00:34:42,207
take care of, because we do assign things from

708
00:34:42,207 --> 00:34:43,762
the list, right?

709
00:34:43,762 --> 00:34:44,956
Please, so I would like to

710
00:34:44,956 --> 00:34:47,774
try to find it. It's in the

711
00:34:47,774 --> 00:34:49,698
spreadsheet with the books we

712
00:34:49,698 --> 00:34:50,939
had.

713
00:34:50,939 --> 00:34:54,210
I'm terrible at "Is It in the Docs?"

714
00:34:54,210 --> 00:34:55,430
Yes, yes, and I do. Yes,

715
00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:56,705
there are tabs at the bottom

716
00:34:56,705 --> 00:34:57,939
of the Google document.

717
00:34:57,939 --> 00:35:00,836
Yes. Um, I might always need to

718
00:35:00,836 --> 00:35:03,609
learn, but I haven't the slightest

719
00:35:03,609 --> 00:35:06,019
idea about it. They

720
00:35:06,019 --> 00:35:07,656
also have some

721
00:35:07,656 --> 00:35:10,100
good accessibility tools available.

722
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:12,431
So, I think it sometimes requires a

723
00:35:12,431 --> 00:35:14,957
lot of research to find what's

724
00:35:14,957 --> 00:35:16,580
useful.

725
00:35:16,580 --> 00:35:18,663
But yes, I have it in the human

726
00:35:18,663 --> 00:35:20,919
library's book tracking file

727
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:23,386
, the draft file. It's on

728
00:35:23,386 --> 00:35:25,061
the second tab, which says "

729
00:35:25,061 --> 00:35:33,350
pending 2026". So. We need

730
00:35:33,350 --> 00:35:35,660
brochures and evaluation surveys

731
00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:38,239
. I think...has it

732
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,239
already been shared?

733
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,259
Okay, I can share it with you.

734
00:35:44,259 --> 00:35:45,590
Perhaps not at this time.

735
00:35:45,590 --> 00:35:45,930
Yes of

736
00:35:45,930 --> 00:35:48,695
course. I work very closely with a

737
00:35:48,695 --> 00:35:50,886
woman with low vision and we both provide

738
00:35:50,886 --> 00:35:53,880
accessibility training. I

739
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,871
could always contact her if you're

740
00:35:55,871 --> 00:35:58,025
curious about this, like how to get in

741
00:35:58,025 --> 00:36:00,437
touch with her and get...

742
00:36:00,437 --> 00:36:01,052
I'm like...

743
00:36:01,052 --> 00:36:02,317
screen assistive technology. It

744
00:36:02,317 --> 00:36:03,640
definitely falls behind.

745
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,052
Yes, because

746
00:36:05,052 --> 00:36:06,935
screen reader technology isn't

747
00:36:06,935 --> 00:36:08,724
my strong suit, but it definitely is

748
00:36:08,724 --> 00:36:09,729
yours.

749
00:36:09,729 --> 00:36:12,063
Yes, I'm aware of that. I can

750
00:36:12,063 --> 00:36:14,757
manage. I don't even know

751
00:36:14,757 --> 00:36:18,839
how to do anything with it. How to open and

752
00:36:18,839 --> 00:36:22,523
edit, and simply how all that...

753
00:36:22,523 --> 00:36:23,221
It's really...

754
00:36:23,221 --> 00:36:24,879
its functionality, regardless of

755
00:36:24,879 --> 00:36:28,103
the vision behind the technology.

756
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:28,920
Yes, you also need...

757
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,236
I'd like to say it's because of your

758
00:36:30,236 --> 00:36:34,409
vision. I'll be honest. I have

759
00:36:34,409 --> 00:36:35,169
spreadsheets.

760
00:36:35,169 --> 00:36:35,659
Yes.

761
00:36:35,659 --> 00:36:38,222
I need a little tutorial on

762
00:36:38,222 --> 00:36:40,999
how...at this point I sometimes forget

763
00:36:40,999 --> 00:36:43,019
that not everything is intuitive. Alright

764
00:36:43,019 --> 00:36:46,383
. It's your business, but it's not what

765
00:36:46,383 --> 00:36:49,899
...you don't use technology daily. It's

766
00:36:49,899 --> 00:36:52,764
like there's no need for it, so to

767
00:36:52,764 --> 00:36:55,210
speak. And that's why I haven't

768
00:36:55,210 --> 00:36:58,370
learned it. So I can also

769
00:36:58,370 --> 00:37:00,467
copy and paste the list into the

770
00:37:00,467 --> 00:37:03,321
email I send. I'm sending it to

771
00:37:03,321 --> 00:37:04,876
everyone with a blind carbon copy. Just don't

772
00:37:04,876 --> 00:37:08,428
reply to everyone, but you don't have...the

773
00:37:08,428 --> 00:37:12,065
information about the environment. Yes. But

774
00:37:12,065 --> 00:37:14,766
going back to... But yes, if we need

775
00:37:14,766 --> 00:37:16,913
signs for the space, like

776
00:37:16,913 --> 00:37:19,684
directional signage or something,

777
00:37:19,684 --> 00:37:22,570
how do we do that? We need

778
00:37:22,570 --> 00:37:25,673
name tags. I think

779
00:37:25,673 --> 00:37:28,551
ordinary labels are

780
00:37:28,551 --> 00:37:31,895
fine. And I'll use permanent markers,

781
00:37:31,895 --> 00:37:34,490
but I can bring... Only for roles

782
00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:37,291
like librarian and things like that. It's

783
00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:39,466
also for those of us on

784
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:41,468
the committee who have our

785
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:43,643
names there, and any reader who wants to

786
00:37:43,643 --> 00:37:46,732
have their name there too. And then

787
00:37:46,732 --> 00:37:48,599
for the books, so I'll have that

788
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,800
available. So.

789
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,263
I can ask for that with our money

790
00:37:52,263 --> 00:37:53,540
too.

791
00:37:53,540 --> 00:37:54,220
Yes.

792
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:56,160
I'll order the name tags.

793
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,282
OK. Um, the colored chips,

794
00:38:00,282 --> 00:38:03,354
that's an idea from, um, the

795
00:38:03,354 --> 00:38:06,261
Norwood Human Library event where they

796
00:38:06,261 --> 00:38:09,378
had three different colors. One

797
00:38:09,378 --> 00:38:11,226
meant the book was ready

798
00:38:11,226 --> 00:38:13,123
for someone new, another said they

799
00:38:13,123 --> 00:38:14,921
needed help, and another said they

800
00:38:14,921 --> 00:38:17,060
needed a break. Mhm. Alright

801
00:38:17,060 --> 00:38:17,791
. So

802
00:38:17,791 --> 00:38:19,650
that they can exchange.

803
00:38:19,650 --> 00:38:21,225
Oh, does she have one? I think I

804
00:38:21,225 --> 00:38:21,803
have them.

805
00:38:21,803 --> 00:38:24,554
Oh, okay. That would be great. She

806
00:38:24,554 --> 00:38:26,015
said she believes she has all her

807
00:38:26,015 --> 00:38:27,021
chips at home.

808
00:38:27,021 --> 00:38:28,087
Yes, so maybe we need

809
00:38:28,087 --> 00:38:33,219
some.

810
00:38:33,219 --> 00:38:34,020
Um. I do

811
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:35,042
n't know what I am...

812
00:38:35,042 --> 00:38:39,239
So this is it, this is your thing. It does

813
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,193
n't really matter what colors

814
00:38:41,193 --> 00:38:43,376
we have because we'll be writing the text

815
00:38:43,376 --> 00:38:48,060
on all of them. Get rid of them.

816
00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:49,222
No, that's perfect, because you know, as long as

817
00:38:49,222 --> 00:38:50,706
you have, what? Three for each

818
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:53,800
book, then we're good.

819
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,712
This way, librarians will know who

820
00:38:55,712 --> 00:38:57,528
is ready and who is taking a

821
00:38:57,528 --> 00:38:59,600
break. Keeping them out.

822
00:38:59,600 --> 00:38:59,940
Yes.

823
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:03,108
Keeping the files together.

824
00:39:03,108 --> 00:39:05,495
I know you've been...very well, so

825
00:39:05,495 --> 00:39:07,704
the things we're ordering so far

826
00:39:07,704 --> 00:39:09,973
are, um, posters for the

827
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:11,088
signs and the...

828
00:39:11,088 --> 00:39:11,985
name tags.

829
00:39:11,985 --> 00:39:13,779
that's fine.

830
00:39:13,779 --> 00:39:16,215
Um, oh yes, and I was saying that, uh, the

831
00:39:16,215 --> 00:39:18,795
evaluation surveys for both

832
00:39:18,795 --> 00:39:22,431
readers and books. In the end,

833
00:39:22,431 --> 00:39:24,860
you just need to print them. I think they're

834
00:39:24,860 --> 00:39:27,200
in the, um...

835
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,219
Yes, in the Dropbox folder.

836
00:39:29,219 --> 00:39:31,317
It's like a, it's a couple of pages. Yes

837
00:39:31,317 --> 00:39:33,145
, I remember we were talking about trying to

838
00:39:33,145 --> 00:39:35,362
condense them. And it just seems

839
00:39:35,362 --> 00:39:36,873
easier to send them back, print them out,

840
00:39:36,873 --> 00:39:39,299
and all that. I was going

841
00:39:39,299 --> 00:39:41,177
to say send them to me, and

842
00:39:41,177 --> 00:39:42,420
thank you.

843
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:45,019
I think it's a PDF right now.

844
00:39:45,019 --> 00:39:46,815
So, I think it really is, yes,

845
00:39:46,815 --> 00:39:48,611
you know, it's, you know, what's really

846
00:39:48,611 --> 00:39:52,358
needed. Yes. Let's... I mean

847
00:39:52,358 --> 00:39:56,565
... I wouldn't mind transcribing it

848
00:39:56,565 --> 00:39:58,514
into a form and then, if people

849
00:39:58,514 --> 00:40:00,516
wanted to, I suppose if you could make

850
00:40:00,516 --> 00:40:02,623
a QR code that links to the form,

851
00:40:02,623 --> 00:40:05,120
people could scan it and fill it out.

852
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,400
That's what I was thinking.

853
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,674
If people want to be able to do it

854
00:40:09,674 --> 00:40:11,064
digitally instead of sitting down to

855
00:40:11,064 --> 00:40:12,280
write it by hand.

856
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,717
Oh, I, I can convert a PDF into

857
00:40:14,717 --> 00:40:18,205
something editable. That was the problem.

858
00:40:18,205 --> 00:40:20,223
I was thinking of transcribing it into,

859
00:40:20,223 --> 00:40:22,900
like, Google...

860
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:23,688
Okay.

861
00:40:23,688 --> 00:40:25,708
And then, it would automatically create a

862
00:40:25,708 --> 00:40:27,678
spreadsheet where you could track

863
00:40:27,678 --> 00:40:29,748
all the comments in one place.

864
00:40:29,748 --> 00:40:30,760
So, that's probably more

865
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,086
valuable.

866
00:40:31,086 --> 00:40:35,024
Yes. Because otherwise we're,

867
00:40:35,024 --> 00:40:36,200
like, manually...

868
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:36,580
Yes.

869
00:40:36,580 --> 00:40:43,140
Scanning in an archaic way.

870
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:43,939
That's true.

871
00:40:43,939 --> 00:40:44,660
As you know. I mean

872
00:40:44,660 --> 00:40:46,281
, I think it would be valuable to

873
00:40:46,281 --> 00:40:47,360
have printed copies.

874
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:47,873
Yes.

875
00:40:47,873 --> 00:40:49,167
Oh, that's great. Although we

876
00:40:49,167 --> 00:40:49,740
will have it.

877
00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:53,863
Likely. The other good thing about that is

878
00:40:53,863 --> 00:40:55,500
that people wouldn't have to do it on

879
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:56,931
the spot and hand it in. They could

880
00:40:56,931 --> 00:40:58,476
do it at home, for example. They could

881
00:40:58,476 --> 00:40:59,887
start it and then realize it, you know

882
00:40:59,887 --> 00:41:01,813
what? I really want to think about this and

883
00:41:01,813 --> 00:41:03,259
send it the next day.

884
00:41:03,259 --> 00:41:04,440
Yes.

885
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,837
I think we should encourage...I think that's it

886
00:41:06,837 --> 00:41:08,241
...

887
00:41:08,241 --> 00:41:08,783
Who else is there?

888
00:41:08,783 --> 00:41:09,123
Yes.

889
00:41:09,123 --> 00:41:10,378
But we should encourage people to

890
00:41:10,378 --> 00:41:11,362
do it so they don't

891
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:12,040
forget.

892
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:12,380
Yes.

893
00:41:12,380 --> 00:41:14,011
sure. You're

894
00:41:14,011 --> 00:41:15,029
not getting away from here.

895
00:41:15,029 --> 00:41:18,042
Clear. Now, what... I mean, for

896
00:41:18,042 --> 00:41:19,996
lack of a better term, how do we track

897
00:41:19,996 --> 00:41:22,799
the people who have come? Do they leave

898
00:41:22,799 --> 00:41:24,532
their email address so we can

899
00:41:24,532 --> 00:41:26,855
follow up somehow? For

900
00:41:26,855 --> 00:41:28,266
example, perhaps to get

901
00:41:28,266 --> 00:41:29,720
feedback?

902
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,200
They are using a record sheet.

903
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,380
Yes.

904
00:41:34,380 --> 00:41:36,627
I think there should be some kind of

905
00:41:36,627 --> 00:41:41,291
closure or something final. Well, you don't have to

906
00:41:41,291 --> 00:41:43,795
tell us who you spoke to, but you can

907
00:41:43,795 --> 00:41:45,259
give us their

908
00:41:45,259 --> 00:41:46,659
contact information.

909
00:41:46,659 --> 00:41:47,919
And about your event.

910
00:41:47,919 --> 00:41:55,298
Yes, absolutely. Yes. I'm doing this because I

911
00:41:55,298 --> 00:41:56,992
really can't add anything right now

912
00:41:56,992 --> 00:41:57,360
. Alright

913
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:04,908
. She has a very pleasant aura

914
00:42:04,908 --> 00:42:05,981
.

915
00:42:05,981 --> 00:42:07,680
It's true. I mean

916
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,315
, I love this. I'm

917
00:42:09,315 --> 00:42:10,383
sure you'll love it. I'm

918
00:42:10,383 --> 00:42:11,484
sure I'll take this with me everywhere

919
00:42:11,484 --> 00:42:13,053
. This isn't the king of the

920
00:42:13,053 --> 00:42:13,402
bathroom.

921
00:42:13,402 --> 00:42:14,653
There he is. I mean

922
00:42:14,653 --> 00:42:15,549
, I can. I

923
00:42:15,549 --> 00:42:18,740
'm not blaming her at all.

924
00:42:18,740 --> 00:42:20,406
This is the...This is the to-do list I

925
00:42:20,406 --> 00:42:22,259
put in the spreadsheet. I

926
00:42:22,259 --> 00:42:24,114
simply ran out of space here

927
00:42:24,114 --> 00:42:25,828
, so I'm going to put this here and

928
00:42:25,828 --> 00:42:27,600
then you'll get "

929
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,761
You have plans".

930
00:42:28,761 --> 00:42:30,639
Yes, I trust you.

931
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:33,512
Okay, we need to distribute leaflets

932
00:42:33,512 --> 00:42:36,460
around the city and put posters on every

933
00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:38,699
table.

934
00:42:38,699 --> 00:42:40,429
signs, uh title.

935
00:42:40,429 --> 00:42:43,599
So each...Oh, yes. TRUE.

936
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:45,203
Each table, whether table number or

937
00:42:45,203 --> 00:42:49,106
title. Um, we have titles for

938
00:42:49,106 --> 00:42:55,990
most people. Um, but I want to

939
00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:58,090
give people space to

940
00:42:58,090 --> 00:43:00,370
change it on the same day if they want, or once they

941
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,330
finish their training.

942
00:43:02,330 --> 00:43:03,514
Like, what if they...? I was going

943
00:43:03,514 --> 00:43:04,813
to say that we'll leave them outside

944
00:43:04,813 --> 00:43:06,041
with permanent markers and they

945
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:06,809
can write their

946
00:43:06,809 --> 00:43:10,265
Yes, yes, yes. things. But I also

947
00:43:10,265 --> 00:43:12,508
think that having a sign on the table that

948
00:43:12,508 --> 00:43:14,751
says the table number so that when

949
00:43:14,751 --> 00:43:16,770
the librarians...when we are

950
00:43:16,770 --> 00:43:18,789
guiding people...none of the

951
00:43:18,789 --> 00:43:21,740
words work. Um

952
00:43:21,740 --> 00:43:24,859
the function We have the purpose.

953
00:43:24,859 --> 00:43:26,999
When, you know, we bring people into

954
00:43:26,999 --> 00:43:29,140
the room and say, "Oh, you want to talk

955
00:43:29,140 --> 00:43:31,336
to the project collegiate, he's at

956
00:43:31,336 --> 00:43:32,860
this table."

957
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:35,338
Yes. We have table numbers. Oh

958
00:43:35,338 --> 00:43:37,300
really? Well,

959
00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:38,402
only as metal.

960
00:43:38,402 --> 00:43:39,419
Yes, perfect.

961
00:43:39,419 --> 00:43:41,209
A little eh

962
00:43:41,209 --> 00:43:42,509
Oh, like at a wedding.

963
00:43:42,509 --> 00:43:43,811
Yes, practically.

964
00:43:43,811 --> 00:43:44,469
For events.

965
00:43:44,469 --> 00:43:45,725
That would be your identifier. Okay,

966
00:43:45,725 --> 00:43:47,719
great.

967
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:53,285
That's it. So, I can take, I'll take

968
00:43:53,285 --> 00:43:59,560
your table numbers.

969
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,949
I love using existing resources

970
00:44:01,949 --> 00:44:06,386
. Yes. Um, I have the

971
00:44:06,386 --> 00:44:09,574
magnetic board. Um, all I'll do is

972
00:44:09,574 --> 00:44:11,838
use magnets on the whiteboard and simply

973
00:44:11,838 --> 00:44:13,932
have a section for available,

974
00:44:13,932 --> 00:44:15,970
unavailable, or check-in and check-

975
00:44:15,970 --> 00:44:18,008
out, and then put the names on it and

976
00:44:18,008 --> 00:44:20,939
just move them around like in the video. I

977
00:44:20,939 --> 00:44:26,071
feel like I'm missing things, but at the same

978
00:44:26,071 --> 00:44:28,994
time I feel like we're doing

979
00:44:28,994 --> 00:44:31,919
well. Why? Why? I ca

980
00:44:31,919 --> 00:44:34,775
n't.

981
00:44:34,775 --> 00:44:36,474
Just to clarify, on the board,

982
00:44:36,474 --> 00:44:40,300
where are you? Is that...?

983
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:42,090
We can easily place it against the

984
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:43,700
...we can easily.

985
00:44:43,700 --> 00:44:46,580
Oh, that would be truly wonderful. I

986
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:48,778
need to measure. Is

987
00:44:48,778 --> 00:44:52,500
that responsible for the numbers?

988
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:55,476
Like a magnetic crystal.

989
00:44:55,476 --> 00:44:57,273
Would it be beneficial for me to print

990
00:44:57,273 --> 00:44:59,216
only the QR code so that we have it

991
00:44:59,216 --> 00:45:03,435
in certain places? To go. I don't know if

992
00:45:03,435 --> 00:45:04,851
we have something like on the whiteboard or something like that

993
00:45:04,851 --> 00:45:06,074
. I don't know. We can just

994
00:45:06,074 --> 00:45:06,661
stick it there.

995
00:45:06,661 --> 00:45:09,150
Where does the QR code go? Linking.

996
00:45:09,150 --> 00:45:10,983
Oh, it's for Facebook. Oh, I guess so

997
00:45:10,983 --> 00:45:12,379
, what's the point of that?

998
00:45:12,379 --> 00:45:13,380
Yes, we did it here.

999
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:15,056
Well, maybe for the

1000
00:45:15,056 --> 00:45:16,259
subsequent survey.

1001
00:45:16,259 --> 00:45:18,226
Yes, once we have the form

1002
00:45:18,226 --> 00:45:20,459
ready and the link, I'll send it to you.

1003
00:45:20,459 --> 00:45:24,140
That would be good, and then

1004
00:45:24,140 --> 00:45:25,520
, OK, I'll generate a QR code for

1005
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,880
the survey once I have it.

1006
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:39,200
Yes.

1007
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,740
Wait, did I type control or

1008
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:44,800
barcode?

1009
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,201
Um, a lot of this is marketing and I think we're

1010
00:45:47,201 --> 00:45:49,603
doing pretty well

1011
00:45:49,603 --> 00:45:54,941
there. Um, and then signage for

1012
00:45:54,941 --> 00:45:56,853
the day of the event. I think I already have

1013
00:45:56,853 --> 00:45:59,888
those things. And I think we talked about all of

1014
00:45:59,888 --> 00:46:01,479
this.

1015
00:46:01,479 --> 00:46:09,463
Yes. Oh. Oh, yes. It already says to share that

1016
00:46:09,463 --> 00:46:12,293
with the new Jersey. We saw it. Mine

1017
00:46:12,293 --> 00:46:13,179
is already redundant. Alright

1018
00:46:13,179 --> 00:46:14,160
.

1019
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,603
Um, are there any other churches like

1020
00:46:16,603 --> 00:46:19,478
Maple Street Congregational or any

1021
00:46:19,478 --> 00:46:22,281
other religious groups you think I should

1022
00:46:22,281 --> 00:46:23,159
contact? I

1023
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:24,300
know someone there.

1024
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:24,973
Um

1025
00:46:24,973 --> 00:46:26,307
Maple Street um

1026
00:46:26,307 --> 00:46:26,805
Right.

1027
00:46:26,805 --> 00:46:28,720
Congregational Church. That's where

1028
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,060
my grandson goes to school.

1029
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:30,500
Yes.

1030
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:32,413
Preschool. So, I can say

1031
00:46:32,413 --> 00:46:33,990
Pamela is really great there. She

1032
00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:36,156
is the pastor. Do you want to

1033
00:46:36,156 --> 00:46:37,360
let them know about that?

1034
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,435
Yes, maybe I can just get my

1035
00:46:40,435 --> 00:46:42,880
husband to bring one of these.

1036
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,439
Yes.

1037
00:46:44,439 --> 00:46:48,022
He picks it up. Our neighbor goes to

1038
00:46:48,022 --> 00:46:49,919
church.

1039
00:46:50,220 --> 00:46:51,032
Brilliant.

1040
00:46:51,032 --> 00:46:52,959
Yes, her. She is,

1041
00:46:52,959 --> 00:46:54,546
and I can simply pull up the

1042
00:46:54,546 --> 00:46:56,089
email, like the

1043
00:46:56,089 --> 00:46:57,060
virtual post she made.

1044
00:46:57,060 --> 00:46:59,540
Yes.

1045
00:46:59,540 --> 00:47:01,343
Great. Very well, then we're making

1046
00:47:01,343 --> 00:47:02,210
good progress.

1047
00:47:02,210 --> 00:47:05,487
Yes. Where are we at with the, um

1048
00:47:05,487 --> 00:47:08,765
...for the town's social events

1049
00:47:08,765 --> 00:47:10,974
?

1050
00:47:10,974 --> 00:47:13,207
Oh, yes. It's the same thing, exactly the same. So we

1051
00:47:13,207 --> 00:47:14,758
should have a good

1052
00:47:14,758 --> 00:47:16,503
relationship there to post things

1053
00:47:16,503 --> 00:47:17,928
for each other. So I was going to

1054
00:47:17,928 --> 00:47:19,608
send it to her along with all the

1055
00:47:19,608 --> 00:47:20,943
other people I was going to

1056
00:47:20,943 --> 00:47:24,981
contact on Monday. Um, regarding the

1057
00:47:24,981 --> 00:47:29,459
publication, who's going to publish?

1058
00:47:29,459 --> 00:47:30,609
here in town

1059
00:47:30,609 --> 00:47:35,964
? Um, probably separate the

1060
00:47:35,964 --> 00:47:38,330
QR code into its own slide. No, that wouldn't make

1061
00:47:38,330 --> 00:47:41,256
sense. Just have a link,

1062
00:47:41,256 --> 00:47:42,620
because you can't scan a code

1063
00:47:42,620 --> 00:47:43,420
from a phone.

1064
00:47:43,420 --> 00:47:45,428
I mean, people do it all the time and

1065
00:47:45,428 --> 00:47:47,387
then you're like, "I know, yeah, I'm on my

1066
00:47:47,387 --> 00:47:48,680
phone." Yes.

1067
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,423
so I'll just take a look

1068
00:47:50,423 --> 00:47:52,211
so they can interact; You can't really;

1069
00:47:52,211 --> 00:47:54,000
you can share the link,

1070
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,422
but it can't be clicked on

1071
00:47:55,422 --> 00:47:57,340
Instagram unless it's a purchase.

1072
00:47:57,340 --> 00:47:59,200
I think it's more.

1073
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,345
This information is the most important

1074
00:48:01,345 --> 00:48:01,980
.

1075
00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,499
Yes, but they're getting more of that

1076
00:48:03,499 --> 00:48:04,940
, including email addresses

1077
00:48:04,940 --> 00:48:06,459
, yes, because that way

1078
00:48:06,459 --> 00:48:08,860
we can always direct people to Facebook.

1079
00:48:08,860 --> 00:48:11,586
OK. So it's probably

1080
00:48:11,586 --> 00:48:13,595
mostly the title and subtitle

1081
00:48:13,595 --> 00:48:15,392
of the little guide, the little bit of

1082
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:18,269
information. It will probably take up

1083
00:48:18,269 --> 00:48:20,354
most of, um, it will take up almost

1084
00:48:20,354 --> 00:48:22,385
all of the space in the

1085
00:48:22,385 --> 00:48:23,020
Instagram post.

1086
00:48:23,020 --> 00:48:23,740
Yes.

1087
00:48:23,740 --> 00:48:28,343
So great. Ellie, can you

1088
00:48:28,343 --> 00:48:31,880
share the Canva project with me?

1089
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,415
She used, she created, she used Adobe Spark

1090
00:48:34,415 --> 00:48:34,620
.

1091
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:36,519
OK. I

1092
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:38,326
only got fancy because I couldn't

1093
00:48:38,326 --> 00:48:39,762
import their fonts into our

1094
00:48:39,762 --> 00:48:41,474
app.

1095
00:48:41,474 --> 00:48:42,132
Oh, okay.

1096
00:48:42,132 --> 00:48:42,790
So, but that's it

1097
00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:45,525
, do you know what type of file it is

1098
00:48:45,525 --> 00:48:46,882
? Okay, but

1099
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:48,630
I can send it to you. You can do whatever you

1100
00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:49,039
want.

1101
00:48:49,039 --> 00:48:52,832
Yes, send me an

1102
00:48:52,832 --> 00:48:54,212
email too, but I'll say it right now just so it's on

1103
00:48:54,212 --> 00:48:55,666
record

1104
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:57,642
, that might help you remember. But I'll

1105
00:48:57,642 --> 00:48:59,978
email you just

1106
00:48:59,978 --> 00:49:02,140
to see if you can send me something with

1107
00:49:02,140 --> 00:49:04,418
layers so I can extract all the

1108
00:49:04,418 --> 00:49:05,103
elements.

1109
00:49:05,103 --> 00:49:05,759
That's fine thanks.

1110
00:49:05,759 --> 00:49:07,062
Thank you. A TIF, you

1111
00:49:07,062 --> 00:49:08,957
know, a TIF file or something like that. Alright

1112
00:49:08,957 --> 00:49:09,400
. I

1113
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,567
think it's perfect. So, if I think

1114
00:49:13,567 --> 00:49:16,472
, it's like you take the, um, relationship and

1115
00:49:16,472 --> 00:49:19,420
change it. So if you can change it,

1116
00:49:19,420 --> 00:49:25,492
create something that is already square. So

1117
00:49:25,492 --> 00:49:28,920
make this square. OK. Clear.

1118
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,554
Because that's the relationship, that's the relationship

1119
00:49:30,554 --> 00:49:31,940
for Instagram.

1120
00:49:31,940 --> 00:49:32,719
Oh.

1121
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:33,899
Yes.

1122
00:49:33,899 --> 00:49:35,060
one by one.

1123
00:49:35,060 --> 00:49:39,847
Yes, yes. Um, yes. TRUE.

1124
00:49:39,847 --> 00:49:41,557
If not, you can send me the bottles. I

1125
00:49:41,557 --> 00:49:43,933
, I can put something together. Um, yeah, just

1126
00:49:43,933 --> 00:49:46,425
something that fits in that square space

1127
00:49:46,425 --> 00:49:50,660
for that. Um, do you know if Procreate is

1128
00:49:50,660 --> 00:49:52,700
pixel-based or vector-based, or is it like

1129
00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:55,642
infinitely scalable? Does

1130
00:49:55,642 --> 00:50:00,459
that make sense? Like, forget it. I'm sorry. You

1131
00:50:00,459 --> 00:50:03,953
've lost me. I'll send you all

1132
00:50:03,953 --> 00:50:12,620
four bottles right now.

1133
00:50:12,620 --> 00:50:15,440
Yes, you lost me. I'm sorry

1134
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,219
.

1135
00:50:16,219 --> 00:50:18,490
Again, so that's where you have it

1136
00:50:18,490 --> 00:50:21,263
, oh my God! Are you talking about

1137
00:50:21,263 --> 00:50:21,740
vectors?

1138
00:50:21,740 --> 00:50:24,188
Miracle, I didn't realize you could

1139
00:50:24,188 --> 00:50:25,920
upload fonts to Procreate.

1140
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:26,840
Okay. That's why I didn't do it

1141
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,900
.

1142
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:30,940
I said, "Well, I can't." It's

1143
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:34,722
on my iPad. It is, I think it is.

1144
00:50:34,722 --> 00:50:36,119
Yes, it's an Apple product. That's

1145
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:36,600
quite a lot.

1146
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,320
As an artist. As if.

1147
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,100
I have an iPad Pro.

1148
00:50:41,100 --> 00:50:45,312
No, against this it is, this is mine. Yes,

1149
00:50:45,312 --> 00:50:49,034
you have a lot of iPads. I have many things

1150
00:50:49,034 --> 00:50:55,340
. Yes.

1151
00:50:55,340 --> 00:50:56,987
Any input I receive from

1152
00:50:56,987 --> 00:50:58,848
anyone, I can send it for

1153
00:50:58,848 --> 00:51:05,260
review. Um. Anything else we can think of

1154
00:51:05,260 --> 00:51:06,739
for the event? This is

1155
00:51:06,739 --> 00:51:08,139
our last meeting before the

1156
00:51:08,139 --> 00:51:09,680
event, so.

1157
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,212
OK. In other words

1158
00:51:11,212 --> 00:51:12,427
, I think we're on the right track. I

1159
00:51:12,427 --> 00:51:13,244
think we're doing great.

1160
00:51:13,244 --> 00:51:15,003
I think we have everything.

1161
00:51:15,003 --> 00:51:17,033
I think if we're, you know, on the same

1162
00:51:17,033 --> 00:51:18,912
day, and we say, "Oh my God, we didn't

1163
00:51:18,912 --> 00:51:21,839
do that bonfire thing!" "We are

1164
00:51:21,839 --> 00:51:24,159
here."

1165
00:51:24,159 --> 00:51:24,580
Yes.

1166
00:51:24,580 --> 00:51:25,120
I'm very.

1167
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:26,825
Close by, so you forgot or whatever

1168
00:51:26,825 --> 00:51:29,201
. How early?

1169
00:51:29,201 --> 00:51:30,226
Can we get here?

1170
00:51:30,226 --> 00:51:31,791
How early do you want to start

1171
00:51:31,791 --> 00:51:33,241
work on Saturday?

1172
00:51:33,241 --> 00:51:35,193
As soon as you allow me.

1173
00:51:35,193 --> 00:51:36,420
Can we come in here?

1174
00:51:36,420 --> 00:51:38,720
Oh, yes.

1175
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:41,443
Um, I asked that the books arrive by

1176
00:51:41,443 --> 00:51:42,620
... and if they can.

1177
00:51:42,620 --> 00:51:43,040
Have.

1178
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,300
Um, like that.

1179
00:51:44,300 --> 00:51:44,760
Mhm.

1180
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,919
We can talk about logistics.

1181
00:51:46,919 --> 00:51:47,919
Um.

1182
00:51:47,919 --> 00:51:49,300
and.

1183
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:50,100
Yes.

1184
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:51,995
Especially if someone didn't complete their

1185
00:51:51,995 --> 00:51:54,274
training. Have conversations

1186
00:51:54,274 --> 00:51:55,788
about things like, what do you want your

1187
00:51:55,788 --> 00:51:59,536
presentation to be? Do you have any concerns

1188
00:51:59,536 --> 00:52:01,699
or Google Voice? On

1189
00:52:01,699 --> 00:52:02,839
the third day we will do that type of

1190
00:52:02,839 --> 00:52:04,260
question and answer with everyone.

1191
00:52:04,260 --> 00:52:08,697
Mhm. Also, by asking everyone to

1192
00:52:08,697 --> 00:52:10,987
arrive at 9:00, if they're like

1193
00:52:10,987 --> 00:52:13,219
my family, they'll at least be here by

1194
00:52:13,219 --> 00:52:15,019
9:30 or 9:45. So. They will

1195
00:52:15,019 --> 00:52:16,241
definitely be here by

1196
00:52:16,241 --> 00:52:16,494
9:00.

1197
00:52:16,494 --> 00:52:18,241
Exact.

1198
00:52:18,241 --> 00:52:23,759
Brilliant. Um,

1199
00:52:23,759 --> 00:52:24,793
I just want to make sure everything is

1200
00:52:24,793 --> 00:52:25,539
okay.

1201
00:52:25,539 --> 00:52:28,320
No, let me know if it's already been dealt with or

1202
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,174
everything's been prepared. We're like, where's

1203
00:52:32,174 --> 00:52:35,106
everything going to be? How many people? Are we going to

1204
00:52:35,106 --> 00:52:36,218
be in the big room?

1205
00:52:36,218 --> 00:52:37,834
In the large room. All the books

1206
00:52:37,834 --> 00:52:38,869
will be on the tables.

1207
00:52:38,869 --> 00:52:40,718
OK. There is so much space that there will

1208
00:52:40,718 --> 00:52:42,879
be room between the tables.

1209
00:52:42,879 --> 00:52:43,420
OK.

1210
00:52:43,420 --> 00:52:45,499
So, I don't think that's it. It's just that

1211
00:52:45,499 --> 00:52:47,593
in some photos from other

1212
00:52:47,593 --> 00:52:49,942
events, they're standing next to each

1213
00:52:49,942 --> 00:52:51,379
other.

1214
00:52:51,379 --> 00:52:53,150
Like four people sitting at a

1215
00:52:53,150 --> 00:52:55,307
table with no space between them. And we don't have to

1216
00:52:55,307 --> 00:52:56,860
do that here.

1217
00:52:56,860 --> 00:52:58,620
There is plenty of space.

1218
00:52:58,620 --> 00:53:00,002
And if you want, we can put the

1219
00:53:00,002 --> 00:53:01,557
snacks and other things in the

1220
00:53:01,557 --> 00:53:02,120
classroom.

1221
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:02,820
Oh, great. That's

1222
00:53:02,820 --> 00:53:05,496
a good idea. And then we'll

1223
00:53:05,496 --> 00:53:06,360
eat outside.

1224
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,516
Yes, that would be good. And that also

1225
00:53:08,516 --> 00:53:10,334
gives the people at the top a place to

1226
00:53:10,334 --> 00:53:13,939
go and take a breather. Yes.

1227
00:53:14,060 --> 00:53:15,488
Perhaps I should prepare another room.

1228
00:53:15,488 --> 00:53:17,335
Can we prepare it here so

1229
00:53:17,335 --> 00:53:19,399
you have a place for snacks and

1230
00:53:19,399 --> 00:53:20,080
other things? We

1231
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:21,380
're not using

1232
00:53:21,380 --> 00:53:23,083
Yes. You have the whole building.

1233
00:53:23,083 --> 00:53:24,399
Oh, but what about the people in

1234
00:53:24,399 --> 00:53:25,259
books?

1235
00:53:25,259 --> 00:53:27,999
Yes, anyone.

1236
00:53:27,999 --> 00:53:29,121
So, we have two with the

1237
00:53:29,121 --> 00:53:30,441
large hall and then we will have two

1238
00:53:30,441 --> 00:53:31,100
classrooms.

1239
00:53:31,100 --> 00:53:31,570
OK.

1240
00:53:31,570 --> 00:53:33,050
Yes, but these halls are right

1241
00:53:33,050 --> 00:53:33,350
there.

1242
00:53:33,350 --> 00:53:34,140
OK.

1243
00:53:34,140 --> 00:53:36,306
I like having something there just in case, I

1244
00:53:36,306 --> 00:53:40,920
guess. That's easier than

1245
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,550
my plan, I know the organization

1246
00:53:44,550 --> 00:53:47,953
says 30 minutes. My plan is actually to

1247
00:53:47,953 --> 00:53:50,065
schedule people for 25 minutes

1248
00:53:50,065 --> 00:53:52,178
so that everyone gets at least five

1249
00:53:52,178 --> 00:53:53,899
minutes of break time.

1250
00:53:53,899 --> 00:53:54,840
Yes.

1251
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,311
Take a break. Drink some water

1252
00:53:57,311 --> 00:53:59,283
. Do what you need to do before

1253
00:53:59,283 --> 00:54:03,323
someone else comes back in. And I just

1254
00:54:03,323 --> 00:54:04,681
sent you a lot of timers

1255
00:54:04,681 --> 00:54:05,780
on my phone.

1256
00:54:05,780 --> 00:54:06,242
Yes.

1257
00:54:06,242 --> 00:54:08,271
I have, well, there are three.

1258
00:54:08,271 --> 00:54:08,609
We should

1259
00:54:08,609 --> 00:54:09,838
just get the

1260
00:54:09,838 --> 00:54:10,845
traditional kitchen timer, shouldn't we?

1261
00:54:10,845 --> 00:54:12,260
Yes.

1262
00:54:12,260 --> 00:54:13,423
I could have some of those. Do

1263
00:54:13,423 --> 00:54:14,322
you have the budget? Do

1264
00:54:14,322 --> 00:54:18,022
you have those? We have it. I think I have

1265
00:54:18,022 --> 00:54:22,460
one. I know you feel it. They are very

1266
00:54:22,460 --> 00:54:23,240
useful.

1267
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:27,379
Yes.

1268
00:54:27,379 --> 00:54:28,640
Okay, I'm ready.

1269
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,131
Well, there are some ways, I mean

1270
00:54:30,131 --> 00:54:32,280
, we can set up our phones.

1271
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,109
Yes, they also have phones. I'm sorry

1272
00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:37,089
. I'm going to set a timer

1273
00:54:37,089 --> 00:54:38,780
so we don't go over the time limit.

1274
00:54:38,780 --> 00:54:39,261
That's

1275
00:54:39,261 --> 00:54:39,601
right.

1276
00:54:39,601 --> 00:54:41,700
That way we give others a chance. I know you

1277
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:43,601
will. I was

1278
00:54:43,601 --> 00:54:44,980
n't going to do it, but now

1279
00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:47,987
you know how to do that. Yes. Karen

1280
00:54:47,987 --> 00:54:49,457
doesn't need you to ask her for a

1281
00:54:49,457 --> 00:54:52,320
timer. I

1282
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,841
usually set the alarm. But

1283
00:54:54,841 --> 00:54:56,263
we have a budget for timers

1284
00:54:56,263 --> 00:54:58,489
. no.

1285
00:54:58,489 --> 00:54:59,939
Then we have them forever.

1286
00:54:59,939 --> 00:55:01,531
The truth is, I like this. This

1287
00:55:01,531 --> 00:55:03,540
works better because it goes like this.

1288
00:55:03,540 --> 00:55:04,163
Hey.

1289
00:55:04,163 --> 00:55:05,060
I try to be

1290
00:55:05,060 --> 00:55:07,400
everything at once. They do everything at the same time.

1291
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:08,240
Repeat it. They do

1292
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:10,280
everything at the same time.

1293
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,140
For the visuals. Do

1294
00:55:12,140 --> 00:55:13,399
n't know.

1295
00:55:13,399 --> 00:55:15,548
Bring some because that way, if there are

1296
00:55:15,548 --> 00:55:18,153
people who are into books and don't feel

1297
00:55:18,153 --> 00:55:21,083
comfortable holding them, or it's simply a question of

1298
00:55:21,083 --> 00:55:23,520
how much you can read.

1299
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,740
Brilliant. Okay, are we all right?

1300
00:55:26,740 --> 00:55:27,229
Yes. Does

1301
00:55:27,229 --> 00:55:29,581
everyone feel okay? Brilliant. Um, very

1302
00:55:29,581 --> 00:55:31,195
good. Anyway, we're in the

1303
00:55:31,195 --> 00:55:32,788
last 9 minutes of the meeting. Do

1304
00:55:32,788 --> 00:55:34,634
we have any new matters we

1305
00:55:34,634 --> 00:55:37,840
would like to discuss or present?

1306
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:43,069
Um, I do. Um, as Kristy mentioned

1307
00:55:43,069 --> 00:55:46,489
earlier in this meeting, you had

1308
00:55:46,489 --> 00:55:52,148
been at the HRIC. You had been at the

1309
00:55:52,148 --> 00:55:54,986
HRIC earlier this week. Let's

1310
00:55:54,986 --> 00:55:59,640
see. Last night was a weekly live stream.

1311
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,266
Um, okay. And so obviously

1312
00:56:03,266 --> 00:56:05,569
we had shared information about

1313
00:56:05,569 --> 00:56:07,872
the library and then, um, in their agenda

1314
00:56:07,872 --> 00:56:09,945
they specifically talked about several

1315
00:56:09,945 --> 00:56:13,131
different events. One of the events they were

1316
00:56:13,131 --> 00:56:16,776
talking about is that they have an

1317
00:56:16,776 --> 00:56:20,022
event on October 14th. So it's the

1318
00:56:20,022 --> 00:56:21,720
same week as our event. I

1319
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,732
'm not sure. Do you have any

1320
00:56:23,732 --> 00:56:24,421
information?

1321
00:56:24,421 --> 00:56:25,080
Oh no, I don't have it.

1322
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,372
Um, I'm just going to look at this, honey, and I'll walk it over

1323
00:56:28,372 --> 00:56:30,279
. Um, so

1324
00:56:30,279 --> 00:56:32,403
they have an upcoming event. It's

1325
00:56:32,403 --> 00:56:35,696
called Celebration. It will take place,

1326
00:56:35,696 --> 00:56:39,216
um, in the Doraville library. If

1327
00:56:39,216 --> 00:56:42,312
you can take it to the library. Um, it's

1328
00:56:42,312 --> 00:56:48,040
in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

1329
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,253
Uh, the recognition event that

1330
00:56:51,253 --> 00:56:54,734
begins on September 15 and lasts for a

1331
00:56:54,734 --> 00:56:57,323
month, um, and is in honor of the

1332
00:56:57,323 --> 00:57:00,804
contributions of Latinos, um, uh,

1333
00:57:00,804 --> 00:57:05,785
to the United States. Um, I encourage

1334
00:57:05,785 --> 00:57:07,930
people to take a look at the

1335
00:57:07,930 --> 00:57:10,139
comments on each receipt, because they

1336
00:57:10,139 --> 00:57:12,600
really went into detail about, um

1337
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,872
, you know, like the

1338
00:57:14,872 --> 00:57:17,332
independence movements in many of the

1339
00:57:17,332 --> 00:57:19,478
Central and South American countries that

1340
00:57:19,478 --> 00:57:21,939
happened during this time, which is

1341
00:57:21,939 --> 00:57:24,400
why it happens during this time and

1342
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,545
; There are striking parallels between

1343
00:57:26,545 --> 00:57:29,069
our quest for independence as the

1344
00:57:29,069 --> 00:57:30,899
United States, and there are so many

1345
00:57:30,899 --> 00:57:34,683
parallels. I really want to honor

1346
00:57:34,683 --> 00:57:38,520
everyone's contributions, right?

1347
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,146
Especially from Latinos. Your event

1348
00:57:41,146 --> 00:57:45,063
will feature food. They will screen a

1349
00:57:45,063 --> 00:57:48,605
film, there will be speakers, and it will be a

1350
00:57:48,605 --> 00:57:52,146
collaborative event, just like

1351
00:57:52,146 --> 00:57:58,559
last year. There is a project that deals with

1352
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:04,520
the experience of the Day of the Dead. It will

1353
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,318
be a community-based and collaborative project

1354
00:58:06,318 --> 00:58:08,070
that will be in the library

1355
00:58:08,070 --> 00:58:10,341
throughout the month of October. Furthermore,

1356
00:58:10,341 --> 00:58:12,156
we will also highlight that during the

1357
00:58:12,156 --> 00:58:13,633
event. So people will have the

1358
00:58:13,633 --> 00:58:17,823
opportunity to participate. It will be a

1359
00:58:17,823 --> 00:58:24,760
great night, on the 14th, from 5:30 to 8:00.

1360
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,027
That's what's coming. So mark your calendars

1361
00:58:28,027 --> 00:58:33,408
. Another thing I mentioned and

1362
00:58:33,408 --> 00:58:36,507
shared with them, which they also

1363
00:58:36,507 --> 00:58:39,150
shared, was about

1364
00:58:39,150 --> 00:58:42,157
suicide prevention month, which is

1365
00:58:42,157 --> 00:58:47,399
September. And we're highlighting that. I

1366
00:58:47,399 --> 00:58:49,599
just wanted to share information with

1367
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:51,524
HRIC from a

1368
00:58:51,524 --> 00:58:56,040
disability perspective. And to share some

1369
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:00,840
statistics related to

1370
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,935
mental health in general and

1371
00:59:04,935 --> 00:59:07,874
suicide prevention. Some statistics

1372
00:59:07,874 --> 00:59:10,046
specifically indicate that 40% of

1373
00:59:10,046 --> 00:59:11,834
people with

1374
00:59:11,834 --> 00:59:15,984
intellectual and developmental disabilities have

1375
00:59:16,048 --> 00:59:18,974
concurrent mental health conditions. And people with

1376
00:59:18,974 --> 00:59:21,866
disabilities report three times more

1377
00:59:21,866 --> 00:59:24,615
suicidal thoughts compared to

1378
00:59:24,615 --> 00:59:28,981
people without disabilities. In addition,

1379
00:59:28,981 --> 00:59:30,843
adults with disabilities are

1380
00:59:30,843 --> 00:59:32,705
two and a half times more likely

1381
00:59:32,705 --> 00:59:36,654
to suffer from mental distress. Overall,

1382
00:59:36,654 --> 00:59:38,915
we wanted to highlight the coexistence of

1383
00:59:38,915 --> 00:59:41,688
these situations. So I shared

1384
00:59:41,688 --> 00:59:43,620
that with you and the team.

1385
00:59:43,620 --> 00:59:46,843
I also highlighted that here in the

1386
00:59:46,843 --> 00:59:50,343
city we have a free resource from

1387
00:59:50,343 --> 00:59:53,475
a local organization that, after

1388
00:59:53,475 --> 00:59:57,067
receiving a grant in partnership

1389
00:59:57,067 --> 01:00:00,198
with Arc of the United States and My

1390
01:00:00,198 --> 01:00:03,330
Healthcare, offers

1391
01:00:03,330 --> 01:00:07,014
free mental health first aid training

1392
01:00:07,014 --> 01:00:09,496
. They have been doing them

1393
01:00:09,496 --> 01:00:11,017
for quite some time. They are usually carried out

1394
01:00:11,017 --> 01:00:12,873
once a month. It's a

1395
01:00:12,873 --> 01:00:18,269
one-day commitment. And they have some

1396
01:00:18,269 --> 01:00:20,629
upcoming training sessions. There is one on

1397
01:00:20,629 --> 01:00:23,219
October 16th, which is a Friday,

1398
01:00:23,219 --> 01:00:26,562
Wednesday November 11th and Friday

1399
01:00:26,562 --> 01:00:29,975
December 11th. It's a

1400
01:00:29,975 --> 01:00:32,499
full-day training course. It's free.

1401
01:00:32,499 --> 01:00:34,530
We emphasize the importance of mental well-being

1402
01:00:34,530 --> 01:00:36,639
and supporting our community.

1403
01:00:36,639 --> 01:00:40,960
It is the responsibility of all of us.

1404
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,822
I mean, something they posted today on

1405
01:00:42,822 --> 01:00:44,786
their own social media talking about

1406
01:00:44,786 --> 01:00:46,497
the importance of, you know, this would

1407
01:00:46,497 --> 01:00:48,360
simply impact the world as we

1408
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,173
know it in five minutes,

1409
01:00:50,173 --> 01:00:52,035
I'd say, but they really pushed

1410
01:00:52,035 --> 01:00:54,073
that message. So, I really

1411
01:00:54,073 --> 01:00:56,148
appreciate its importance and just wanted to

1412
01:00:56,148 --> 01:00:57,872
share that resource. It's right

1413
01:00:57,872 --> 01:01:00,702
here in the city. Up the street from

1414
01:01:00,702 --> 01:01:02,685
training.

1415
01:01:02,685 --> 01:01:04,419
And where are they on the map?

1416
01:01:04,419 --> 01:01:06,167
Um, well, the training sessions are

1417
01:01:06,167 --> 01:01:07,741
held at Southside Park, which is

1418
01:01:07,741 --> 01:01:10,084
just off Center Street. Um, and

1419
01:01:10,084 --> 01:01:12,779
it's just up the street from here in

1420
01:01:12,779 --> 01:01:16,198
Danvers. One of their offices. What are

1421
01:01:16,198 --> 01:01:17,796
they doing? They've been doing this,

1422
01:01:17,796 --> 01:01:19,555
as I said, for a while now. Um, the

1423
01:01:19,555 --> 01:01:22,320
response has been very positive. Um,

1424
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,559
we in the city have also had

1425
01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:26,676
other opportunities that have

1426
01:01:26,676 --> 01:01:29,096
arisen because this organization is not

1427
01:01:29,096 --> 01:01:31,515
the only one that does

1428
01:01:31,515 --> 01:01:33,632
mental health first aid, but rather, you know,

1429
01:01:33,632 --> 01:01:35,931
these resources that are available

1430
01:01:35,931 --> 01:01:38,767
to the city. But we would love to

1431
01:01:38,767 --> 01:01:40,382
see a collaboration from the different

1432
01:01:40,382 --> 01:01:41,877
health departments that have done

1433
01:01:41,877 --> 01:01:44,985
this. Last year, the

1434
01:01:44,985 --> 01:01:46,868
Danvers Police Department hosted one at

1435
01:01:46,868 --> 01:01:48,703
its facilities in collaboration with

1436
01:01:48,703 --> 01:01:51,890
the health department. And they were

1437
01:01:51,890 --> 01:01:53,967
trying to understand...we're not

1438
01:01:53,967 --> 01:01:56,105
sure, it's as important as

1439
01:01:56,105 --> 01:01:58,182
regular

1440
01:01:58,182 --> 01:02:00,987
CPR first aid training. And you know,

1441
01:02:00,987 --> 01:02:03,216
unfortunately it might be used

1442
01:02:03,216 --> 01:02:05,561
more often than CPR, since, um,

1443
01:02:05,561 --> 01:02:07,907
a human being gets hurt more than they

1444
01:02:07,907 --> 01:02:11,339
die. I just wanted to point that out. I took

1445
01:02:11,339 --> 01:02:12,709
the

1446
01:02:12,709 --> 01:02:14,116
youth mental health first aid training a couple of

1447
01:02:14,116 --> 01:02:17,529
years ago. It's fantastic. So yes, they do have it

1448
01:02:17,529 --> 01:02:18,945
organized for youth mental health

1449
01:02:18,945 --> 01:02:21,980
. Um, and I think Danvers Cares may have

1450
01:02:21,980 --> 01:02:24,680
spoken, discussed, or done

1451
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,664
something in the past. There are...so, I think it's

1452
01:02:27,664 --> 01:02:30,067
very important that, you know,

1453
01:02:30,067 --> 01:02:32,471
organizations in general are

1454
01:02:32,471 --> 01:02:35,069
doing this, but I think, you know,

1455
01:02:35,069 --> 01:02:37,668
thinking from our perspective as

1456
01:02:37,668 --> 01:02:40,136
commissioner, how does that impact the

1457
01:02:40,136 --> 01:02:42,670
population we were looking to support, um,

1458
01:02:42,670 --> 01:02:49,299
all the residents of Amherst, but?

1459
01:02:49,299 --> 01:02:50,439
Thank you, Anne.

1460
01:02:50,439 --> 01:02:51,899
I have something quick.

1461
01:02:51,899 --> 01:02:53,800
Yes, go ahead.

1462
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,018
Uh, this Saturday, um, the

1463
01:02:56,018 --> 01:02:58,296
Swampscott Disability Commission will be holding a

1464
01:02:58,296 --> 01:03:00,573
disability resource fair

1465
01:03:00,573 --> 01:03:02,908
from 2:00 to 4:00, um, in the

1466
01:03:02,908 --> 01:03:07,123
Swampscott Elementary School cafeteria. Um,

1467
01:03:07,123 --> 01:03:09,106
I posted this in the

1468
01:03:09,106 --> 01:03:11,139
City of Amherst Equity and Inclusion Facebook group

1469
01:03:11,139 --> 01:03:13,122
and originally wasn't going to be able to

1470
01:03:13,122 --> 01:03:14,800
make it, but the event I was supposed to

1471
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,783
attend this Saturday was canceled, so I'm

1472
01:03:16,783 --> 01:03:19,787
hoping I can go. Um, but if

1473
01:03:19,787 --> 01:03:21,373
anyone wants detailed information,

1474
01:03:21,373 --> 01:03:24,667
let me know. I will share it. I'll look into it,

1475
01:03:24,667 --> 01:03:26,979
especially as a type of resource they

1476
01:03:26,979 --> 01:03:29,412
offer to the community; it could be

1477
01:03:29,412 --> 01:03:32,223
something to consider in the future. Although

1478
01:03:32,223 --> 01:03:34,340
he said it was for all peoples.

1479
01:03:34,340 --> 01:03:34,865
Mhm.

1480
01:03:34,865 --> 01:03:37,133
Very inclusive. Well, there will be many

1481
01:03:37,133 --> 01:03:39,755
sellers and I'm not sure, has it been

1482
01:03:39,755 --> 01:03:41,595
cancelled yet? I have not seen anything. I've been staying

1483
01:03:41,595 --> 01:03:43,785
inside, so I'm

1484
01:03:43,785 --> 01:03:44,981
hoping to go to

1485
01:03:44,981 --> 01:03:46,603
some places that are even

1486
01:03:46,603 --> 01:03:46,982
indoors.

1487
01:03:46,982 --> 01:03:47,635
Yes it's true.

1488
01:03:47,635 --> 01:03:49,019
because of the trips they

1489
01:03:49,019 --> 01:03:50,699
took, yes. So, it could be

1490
01:03:50,699 --> 01:03:54,200
postponed, but

1491
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,340
thank you.

1492
01:03:55,340 --> 01:03:57,499
And that's what's happening,

1493
01:03:57,499 --> 01:04:00,763
I think it's the Disabled Resource Center that's

1494
01:04:00,811 --> 01:04:03,169
organizing it. I think they are the

1495
01:04:03,169 --> 01:04:05,365
organizers. Yes, I don't think it's

1496
01:04:05,365 --> 01:04:06,739
the Disability Commission.

1497
01:04:06,739 --> 01:04:07,078
Oh.

1498
01:04:07,078 --> 01:04:07,616
yes.

1499
01:04:07,616 --> 01:04:09,040
I hadn't realized that.

1500
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,120
Perhaps, um,

1501
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:11,196
your email address is

1502
01:04:11,196 --> 01:04:11,982
no longer there.

1503
01:04:11,982 --> 01:04:14,121
That's "sweet scoop" in MA.

1504
01:04:14,121 --> 01:04:17,515
Okay, so we sound like a

1505
01:04:17,515 --> 01:04:17,927
fish.

1506
01:04:17,927 --> 01:04:18,306
Yes.

1507
01:04:18,306 --> 01:04:19,303
He is God. Yes.

1508
01:04:19,303 --> 01:04:19,841
Very good.

1509
01:04:19,841 --> 01:04:21,373
That's great.

1510
01:04:21,373 --> 01:04:22,270
Yes, frog is god. The

1511
01:04:22,270 --> 01:04:23,999
frog is the fish.

1512
01:04:23,999 --> 01:04:27,940
Frog over god.

1513
01:04:27,940 --> 01:04:30,003
Um, also, I won't actually be able to go right

1514
01:04:30,003 --> 01:04:31,796
now, but I hope that at some

1515
01:04:31,796 --> 01:04:33,914
point I will do the advanced

1516
01:04:33,914 --> 01:04:35,815
community access monitor training

1517
01:04:35,815 --> 01:04:37,281
through the Massachusetts Office for the

1518
01:04:37,281 --> 01:04:40,001
Disabled. Um, and

1519
01:04:40,001 --> 01:04:42,007
once I can do that, I'll

1520
01:04:42,007 --> 01:04:43,800
share it with them.

1521
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,979
Oh, incredible. Thank you, Kristen.

1522
01:04:46,979 --> 01:04:48,837
And I'm registered for the day I have to

1523
01:04:48,837 --> 01:04:50,795
go for a follow-up with, uh, I do

1524
01:04:50,795 --> 01:04:58,920
n't know what to say. But if. Yes.

1525
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,422
Very good. So, just to reiterate,

1526
01:05:01,422 --> 01:05:03,578
the Celebration is on October 14th at

1527
01:05:03,578 --> 01:05:05,847
5:30 p.m. And the following Saturday is

1528
01:05:05,847 --> 01:05:08,117
the Human Library event on

1529
01:05:08,117 --> 01:05:10,273
October 17th starting at 10:00 a.m. right here

1530
01:05:10,273 --> 01:05:12,485
at the

1531
01:05:12,485 --> 01:05:14,641
Danvers Senior Center, at 25 Stone

1532
01:05:14,641 --> 01:05:19,620
Street. So, you know, don't miss it.

1533
01:05:19,620 --> 01:05:21,000
Um, can we have a motion to

1534
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,492
adjourn unless someone

1535
01:05:22,492 --> 01:05:25,530
wants to share something else? Alright.

1536
01:05:25,530 --> 01:05:27,389
Motion to adjourn the session.

1537
01:05:27,389 --> 01:05:30,020
I second that.

1538
01:05:30,020 --> 01:05:32,135
Okay, everyone in favor of adjourning our

1539
01:05:32,135 --> 01:05:34,111
meeting, say yes.

1540
01:05:34,111 --> 01:05:38,040
That's all. Thank you all.

1541
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,117
Good evening everyone. They

1542
01:05:39,117 --> 01:05:40,454
are much more entertaining.

1543
01:05:40,454 --> 01:05:41,107
Good night. A

1544
01:05:41,107 --> 01:05:42,737
lot of what? Our meetings?

1545
01:05:42,737 --> 01:06:59,780
Where? Where's the food?

1546
01:06:59,780 --> 01:09:30,900
Mhm.
