Ms. Latha Mangipudi, 20 Salmon Brook Drive

| am here in support of R-16-068, the Welcoming America Initiative. | would strongly urge all of you to
support the original resolution as presented by Mayor Donchess who very eloquently explained what this
initiative is and | think it can only make our Nashua a wonderful city and make everybody a diverse
community to be celebrated with diversity and strength and with that | give my wholehearted support.

Ms. Mary Hulfachor, 15 Salmon Brook Drive
| support the original resolution of Nashua as a Welcoming City.
Ms. Gloria Timmons, 3 Roedean Drive

| have lived in Nashua for 26 years and my ancestors came here because of a forced migration from
Africa. | have met, housed and entertained many immigrants. After 22 years in the military and visiting
over 30 countries | have lived many years among them. In my current development there are many
different groups of people from Asia, India, Africa and they are good people who want and deserve the
same thing that most of our citizens have right now, peace, happiness and to worship without
persecution. As a U.S. born resident and in the spirit of this country, please find it in your heart to
understand that they immigrated the same way that all of you did and should be given the same
opportunities. | am requesting that you consider the Welcoming America Initiative.

Ms. Sylvia Gale, 4 Clergy Circle

Since retiring from 30 years of state service | have been very active as a community advocate and
activist on a number of statewide and local activities including the Cultural Connections Committee, the
state’s Human Resource Commission and a convening member of the Nashua Community Conversation
on Race and Justice. Along the way | have become very familiar with the work of the Welcoming
America Initiative which has served as a non-partisan organization for a number of years to strengthen
and support the communities across our nation that have stepped forward and done the right thing to say
to all who want to become productive citizens in their community, we want you, we welcome you and we
will help you to settle in as best we can. This is our country and we all came from somewhere else
except for the Native Americans. We need to be extending our hands and our resources in whatever
way we can. | am in full support of the original resolution as presented by the Mayor. | was disappointed

any unencumbered appropriation balance or any portion thereof from one department, fund or
agency to another. NRO § 5-130, H provides that "when proposed legislation to transfer or re-
appropriate a particular appropriation or portion thereof has had its first reading, such funds shall
