❖ Report back from Encouragement Team
Alex A said the team met over email. In addition to traditional Encouragement events, the Encouragement team would like to set up more of a “two-way street” with the community, and hear more about what the community wants.
❖ Historic Ride status (June 28)
Ariel asked if flyers have been updated with the new date, and whether the hashtag #somervillebikes could be added. Tegin said the flyer has been updated with the date, and the ride organizers would strongly appreciate volunteers from the Committee during the actual ride. Enid, Ariel, and Sarah Wasserman said they would attend, and Ian said he might attend.
Action item: Tegin will ask Brandon to add the #somervillebikes hashtag to the flyer.
