Summary

Members highlighted recent community activities: SAPO purchased a 13-passenger van for youth transport, the Ubuntu Holiday Meal in Menasha (Dec.13) was promoted, and local museum and cultural events were listed on the committee's DEI Facebook page.

During the Nov. 24 DEI meeting Unidentified Speaker 1 and Unidentified Speaker 2 shared community roundtable items and event notices.

Unidentified Speaker 1 celebrated a recent SAPO purchase: a 13-passenger express van to improve transportation of children served by the organization and noted related social-media posts by 'mister Mushe' showing him cooking a Zambian beef stew for visiting children. "They are gonna be able to move kids a lot more efficiently," the speaker said, calling the van a boost to SAPO’s mission.

Unidentified Speaker 2 highlighted upcoming community events posted on the City of Oshkosh DEI Facebook page: the Ubuntu Holiday Meal in Menasha (Dec. 13), a free meal welcoming all ages and focused on fostering community for Black individuals in the Fox Valley; a Hmong networking event on Dec. 4 collecting nonperishable food donations for Paul's Pantry; and the Oshkosh Museum's 'Sounds of the Season' on Dec. 16. The speaker also noted it was Native American Heritage Month.

The committee encouraged members to consult the DEI Facebook page for flyers and share these community opportunities. A previously scheduled NAMI Oshkosh presentation by a named presenter did not attend and will be rescheduled to a later meeting (January or February was discussed).
