Board of Aldermen — 3/22/16 Page 2
RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR
Alderman Lopez
| also attended the walk to raise heroin awareness. |’d also like to add that the movement was so successful in
Nashua that they have already been organizing another walk in Concord which has over 130 people committed
to it in a span of about eight hours. | like to think that is an indication that our community is now leading the
region to address issues that address the whole region. | am particularly proud of that. Then also as a counter
point to Mayor Donchess’ comment about the Cultural Connections Committee, the Cultural Connections
Committee elected two co-chairs, Lavonne Colon and Jean Adie. Rafael was nominated to be the Vice Chair
pending his appointment by this committee. So he is well known to the Cultural Connections Committee and
has done a lot in raising health awareness in minority communities.
