1/4/08 meeting notes

Elissa is a smurf, and is facilitating the meeting. Sam is scribing. Josh is stacking. Jaclyn is timing. Vivi is still on her way home.

(1) Chores:
SO while some people were gone on Thursday we had this monumental cleaning effort during which everyone spent 45 minutes cleaning the house together. The moral of the story is that everyone should do their chores.

(2) Compost:
We have a new compost bin. It is a red popcorn container.

(3) Food money:
We are now spending $152/week in food money. Irina and Jaclyn do not participate in the communal food, and Sasha is not participating this month to see how it works for her.

(4) Room-Switching
There's going to be a meeting at 8:00 on Sunday Jan. 11 to talk about the room-switching.

(6) TV
Please, please, please, please don't spend all of your time watching TV downstairs -- Sam and Josh can't escape it and it's super unfair. Think before you watch TV for six hours straight. Lots of people very kindly and generously offered to let Sam use their rooms when he is bothered by the TV.

(7) Whole Avodah Retreat
If you have any ideas for what we can lead as a group during the whole Avodah retreat, tell Emily.

(8) Tell Emily if you are going to be at the community night. Be there at 6:15. We are probably going to use some community money to buy pizza for us and for the facilitator.

(9) We're going to try leaving the thermostat on 65 degrees all the time to see what happens. DON'T MOVE IT
