5. Council of Churches specifically Roseville area churches; 6. Roseville Schools; 7. Rosedale Shopping Center; Key Businesses in Roseville, large and small Improving and Increasing Education and Outreach -- Phillip Crump and Karen Vnuk From Karen (December 19) I spoke with Joanna Eager from Roseville Area Schools. These were three areas she suggested that the commission could partner with or assist her: 1. She wondered if we might know of or could find members of the community who are from ethnic cultures within Roseville and would be willing to serve on the Education Diversity Committee. We don't have enough members and she would like to also have representatives from the Somali, Hmong, American Indian and Latino communities, in addition to other cultural communities within Roseville. 2. She also thought it would be helpful if we have community folks who are from various cultures that would be willing to speak in the schools about their cultures. Since different age groups have different abilities to understand, maybe different speakers would be needed for different age groups. I.E. Two Latino speakers available, one who can relate a speech to young kids, another who can relate a speech to older kids. I hope I am clear enough about what I mean. Also, these speakers could also speak to teacher audiences. 3. Joanna would like to start a cultural day for the schools. We could maybe partner with her in implementing it. These are just three more ideas to present to the committee. I think recruiting speakers from Roseville's communities of color might be a good way to partner with community members and educate others at the same time. I will be heading out of state on Sunday and will be out that week. Hope you enjoy the holidays! Karen From Karen (December 5) • Celebrating Diversity by having a week long celebration of different events around the City • A web site that gives information on the commission and what it does • A calendar that is a compilation of pictures or stories put together by kids on human rights issues (could be sold to make some extra money for activities the commission would like to do) • The commission could develop speech material on human rights issues and get on speakers' lists for local businesses, schools, churches, etc.
