INVITATION TO COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

Mayor Susan J.M. Bauman invites members of Madison's communities of
color to join her continuing public dialogue next week.

In continuing efforts to improve race relations in Madison,  Mayor
Bauman began meeting separately with African Americans, Native
Americans, South East Asians, and Latinos in 2000.  The meetings
provided an opportunity for individuals to share concerns and hopes
for Madison directly with the Mayor.  In 2001 the meetings will be
held jointly with all persons of color invited to join the discussion
and become better acquainted with each other.

Next week's public meeting will be Thursday, March 15, from 7 - 8:30
p.m., in Room 260 of the Madison Municipal Building, 215 Martin Luther
King, Jr. Boulevard.

Mayor Bauman will begin the evening session by reporting on the steps
the City has taken in response to a number of concerns raised at
earlier meetings with the Mayor.  Although Thursday's meeting is
expressly designed to be of interest to Madison's many people of
color, others who wish to attend are welcome.
