EASTON -- July 14, 2026, Easton Human Rights Committee reelects leadership and commits to an Indigenous peoples theme for its October fair booth. At its July 14 annual organizational meeting, the all-volunteer committee unanimously returned Liz Bornstein as chair, elected Kat Kobelt as vice chair, and retained Kathy Foster as treasurer. Treasurer Foster reported the committee's account at $4,973.04, with June's Pride event closing roughly $21 ahead after $4,036.85 in expenses against $4,058 in revenue plus a $100 Roche Brothers gift card, supported in part by a $2,500 Massachusetts Cultural Council grant.
