• Agenda
  • [Vote] - Approval of Meeting Minutes
    • Approved
  • [Update] - De-stressing event
    • December 13, 9AM: destressing tips and coffee
  • [Update] - Volunteer Recruitment
    • Julie will have a table at the next brunch (December 10) for volunteer recruitment. This will be next to GradRat. Parking meters will be off since it is on a Sunday so parking should not be an issue. Ashdown will provide a table. If we want to open up the Thirsty Ear for seating that day, we will need to find someone to supervise the taps.
  • [Discussion] - Residents' complaints
    • Complaints about trash and missing laundry items
  • [Discussion] - Bike Room Cleanout
    • Deadline to remove wristband: Thursday, November 30th
    • Remaining bikes may be auctioned, depending on number of intact bikes remaining
    • Bikes without homes will be donated
  • [Discussion] - Garden Cleanup
    • Things in garden are dead. Will plan garden cleanup with garden officer sometime after bike room cleanup. Each gardener is responsible for their own plot. Need to look into providing receptacles and gloves. Refreshments to get people to come - need to see how budgets would work.
  • [Discussion] - Composting
    • Should put informational posters in elevators
  • [Open floor]
    • Fun fund: Currently at $15 per person, but not many people are signing up to use it. May need to raise awareness via emails. Increasing amount per person may also be helpful for spending. We could also stop the first come-first serve style signup and go via random selection instead. Another problem is no-shows. Perhaps ask people to make a cash contribution upfront.
    • Queer movie night series: Next one is World AIDS day (December 1st). Seeking a partnership with Ashdown (this would make it a joint SidPac-Ashdown event). Need to clarify budget requirements and requests.

Meeting adjourned.
