- Ashdown Wiki
- Can assign per page permissions so only certain individuals / groups
can use it
- Can use WebMoira groups for access control
- Ashdown Garden spring kickoff event
- We bought a bunch of seeds
- Got a bow rake
- ...a bunch of other stuff that Alin can't spell :)
- Lisa found possible sheds to buy
- Denise and John said they would buy a separate shed for the charcoal
- Might be nice to not have a lot of sheds around courtyard though
- If we use the same shed, the space reserved for the charcoal would be
empty for most of the year. We would need a lot of space for 4th of July
- Top soil is in the garden now, it's been turned over
- Should be good to know
- Frank sent out email
- Officer transition dinner
- AHEC will stay after to clean up
- Spring Concert
- not as many alumni as we wanted signed up
- might be because they see the list of other alumni who signed up and there
aren't that many
- 7 people who want to perform
- caterers are set
- gifts are set
- program print-outs
- use CopyTECH to print them
- got 11 people to show their art
- will be shown during the desert portion
- Ina talked to the Arts director and they will give us easels for free
- Deirdre: We need a list of everyone who has signed up AND paid
- Deirdre: Need people to work the door
- Ho-Jun: will reach out and ask who has signed up and who payed, send list
to Ashdown
- remind them to send another email reminder
- Email lists for officers
- Buying vacuum to supplement inventory
- issue with Denise's credit card limit, so she has to hold off for a couple
of weeks
- option to buy it through other funds
- we have 1 vacuum currently working and 2 shop VACs
- it would good to look into increasing the limits of Denise's credit card
- Floor Officer Training & Duties
- Deirdre has a person for this
- "Left Turn Signal": Intersection of Albany/Mass. Ave
- There is no left-turn signal on the interesection
- Someone got hit by a car today
- Need to advocate for a left-turn signal
- If anyone is interested...
- we walk through there every day
- Ho-Jun also agrees that it's dangerous to cross there
- Jordan suggests we talk to the other dorm and then talk to the GSC/HCA
- Next step can be getting the # of fatalities around that intersection
- probably from MIT police, could be easier
- Maybe send an announcements to Ashdown residents to be careful
- Coffee hour shopping
- Andy's moving out, we need a new shopper
- Jordan says he could do it
- There's been trouble in the past finding people to do it
- Coffee hour is paid from the housemasters' budget
- Having a shopper makes things easier
- Fabyan room glass bookshelves
- AHEC plaques
- Denise can take care of this, without any cost
- Decide where to put it
- by the Fabyan room (any walls)
