The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. The event would be held most likely at Hammocks clubhouse. There will be traditional indian snacks, music, and activities to symbolize the holiday. COVID Mitigation plan: 1. All participants will be required to wear masks 2. When eating people will be required to remain 6 feet away when taking off their masks 3. If people do not feel well or feel like they have a fever they will be requested not to come. 4. There will be an attendance sheet in place for people to sign in, in a case that contact tracing would be required. Veronica Li will be the contact person for the set up and tear down the the event. Dr. Razzaque has been contacted to attend the event. Since this is a public clubhouse for Hammocks residents, no confirmation is needed to book the area since it's a public space that rarely ever occupied. There will be light refreshments and snacks so nothing significant is happening to require any proper reservation of the area.

Trautman-Buckley and Jaclyn Natalone Proposal: Health Disparities Diaper Drive for Mercy Center for Women Date: February 24-28 Location: LECOM Cafeteria The Mercy Center for Women is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Mercy and is committed to enhancing the dignity of each person it serves, through the healing of body, mind and spirit. Mercy Center for Women provides safe and supportive transitional housing, education, case management and advocacy for homeless women with or without children. MCW relies on donations in order to help vulnerable women and children in the Erie community. These women may be homeless for a variety of reasons and the staff at MCW helps to facilitate access to healthcare and dental care as well as act a stepping stone to these women getting back to independent living. Currently, MCW is in desperate need of some supplies. They particularly need diapers sizes 3-5 and wipes. However, there are a plethora of items accepted at MCW. The goal of this charity event is to ask the LECOM community to come together to provide much need items to MCW. While the focus will be on diapers and wipes, MCW also needs blank planners to help the women manage their appointments. They also accept all canned food, including baby food, as well as toiletries and clothing. Every donation made will aid a woman to better take care of her child, stay safe from domestic violence, andstay inside, warm, and fed during the winter months and beyond. Collecting these items will help to promote the health and well-being of some of Erie’s most vulnerable. We will need permission for a box to be placed in the LECOM cafeteria, or another suggested space.
