Good labor holiday, good party!

(Steward) Officer reports

Bernard, kitchen manager: We’re moving along, moving spoiled things on, moving stuff to the donation spots, moving to safer spaces food-wise.

Reyna, membership coordinator: We’ve technically got 4 open rooms right now, in maintenance progress. Diana is moving into 108 in February. I’ve got someone else for 207, potentially.

Frog, maintenance: Lots of people have shown up for 109. There’s still a little baseboard painting that needs doing. I’ve called another pest control company, and they’re coming to do an inspection tomorrow. Hopefully our rats will be dealt with soon. The gas will be shut off tomorrow to try to plug in a new stove, but depending on the plumber it might be off shorter or longer. I talked to the operations manager about getting a long-term glass cutter for window replacements.

Lyssa, events: Thanks everyone for coming out to the party! I am happy to be events coordinator. I have two more events coming soon - this next weekend, a clothing swap starting Saturday evening and continuing into Sunday evening. I can also do a donation run if people just don’t want their clothing back at all. There’s also an elementary-school-style Valentine’s Day party, with bags to decorate. Do people here want to do it on the 14th or the 15th? I also plan on doing another more detailed survey with things like food allergies and preferences. Please respond to that at your earliest convenience.

<There’s more support for the 14th.>

Joy, labor: Good labor holiday! <general cheering> We still need maintenance and grounds work. I’ve heard from Nynke, Gabe, & Richard. Robbie was just here. Pickles, Russ, & Venus have not contacted me. There’s a new labor chart! I will be changing labor descriptions, mostly back to what was on the wiki. We’re splitting up commons and courtyard into north and south sides (the birds are the dividing line in the commons). Commons and courtyard clean will be an hour. Bathrooms clean is coming back. Sorry no-show reports are late.

Kate, treasurer: We have money to pay NASCO. I categorized transactions for taxes. Lots of receipts and several security deposit returns. We need to account for maintenance hours. I’ll be getting the food buyer on the bank account Tuesday.

Cory, board finance stuff: I want to get budgets for July-December. I’m waiting for categorizations and I’m going to wait to meet with Matthias and then tackle what’s left myself. Get some reports out there, because it’s been a while. I’m going to be further pushing for a CHEA reserve fund.

Quinn, food buyer: We’ve spent like $100 this month. I stocked the bathroom with soaps & shampoos.

Beryl, steward: Chinhae’s NP board rep statement is written and I got the nomination out to the operations manager and Sasona. Voting for NP board rep hasn’t begun; I haven’t heard from Sasona yet. We still need someone to sign up for CHEA board rep.

Leah, board: We need another member.

Videographers will be here Thursday! It will probably be mostly indoors due to rain.

Anarchist book show this Saturday. We should go.

If you still don’t have a commons key, get with Frog or Cory.

We need to replace the light fixture in the southwest stairwell.

Frog: I’m having a doodle party Tuesday night to make content for the zine. We will play doodle games!
