- HCA meeting update
- Three things proposed at the meeting:
- A bus to Inmann square
- Bike rentals (unfortunately they are too expensive)
- Dorm tours regulations
- Hulsizer kitchen
- The Hulsizer kitchen could use a lot of work with reorganization
- Also, we need to make sure every one using the kitchen is doing it right
- Andy is organizing a group with Misha, the new kitchen officer
- They are going to get a group of representatives from each committee that uses the kitchen
- They will start with learning how kitchens should be organized through servsafe and volunteering at other kitchens
- They will then figure out how to improve the kitchen (buying stuff, cleaning, etc.)
- They will finish by training the other officers about how to use the kitchen.
