Chair Krongold requested CDI members follow up on chair suggestions and provide more information for the next meeting. OLD BUSINESS 1. Alameda Multicultural Community Center (Zoe Holder, Exce. Director) Ms. Zoe Holder distributed information on the Multicultural Center located at Longfellow which has been around for ten years. Ms. Holder stated that she would like to co-sponsor films on disability on April 16th and requested that the CDI co-sponsor a film. Chair Krongold and Commissioner Lord-Hausman previously viewed several films with Ms. Holder. Commissioner Lord-Hausman stated the challenge would be deciding on which films to show due to the length, although it would be a great partnering opportunity to reach out to many in the disabled community. The CDI agreed to co-sponsor the April 16th film event with the Multicultural Center located in the Longfellow multi-purpose Room, from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The event will include films, panel and a moderator. Chair Krongold booked a second event, to acknowledge Autism Awareness Month, at the Main Library for April 24, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
