A commentary on the book review of Timothy C. Winegard’s The Mosquito. I emphasize that the constant demand for slave labor on the sugar plantations, not mosquitoes, shaped Caribbean demographics.

Event planning committee member for OnBoard.  Its mission is to facilitate connections between talented individuals who might not have access to community leadership positions and active organizations around the Pioneer Valley.  Diversifying boards of directors, committees, and volunteers by recruiting members of under-represented populations provides organizations with insight into new and innovative ways to engage with the community at large. OnBoard hopes to foster dynamic relationships for both the individuals and organizations, which each benefit from the shared resources and experience. “Get OnBoard! 2015” took place on October 8 at the Basketball Hall of Fame, connecting local organizations with people of varied backgrounds who want to expand their community involvement.
