<big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">(<i>Don't know what
happened with the very small text! Trying again)</i><br>
Friends,</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> At the Commons working
group meeting we were discussing how, last year, over the winter
holidays, many of the people who usually spent time at the Omni
were not around. What resulted was people without an interest in
taking care of the Omni and our community entering the space,
engaging in conflict, and ignoring community agreements.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> With that in mind, we
would like to ask Omni collective members who are in town over
the next several weeks to come by the space on a regular basis
and check the building to make sure everything is secure and
that the space is being used appropriately. All the doors
(Ballroom, main entrance, and the two 48th St doors) should be
locked at all times unless there is a member of a member
collective keeping a door unlocked for a particular reason (such
as loading, or an event) and someone is keeping a eye on who is
coming into the building. </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Please remember that
non-members can only be in the building as guests of a member.
If you let someone into the space, you are taking responsibility
for them.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> From
omnicommons.org/wiki/building:</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Only members of member
collectives are granted 24-hour access to the space.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Members are asked to
not occupy the space without at least one other member present
for safety reasons.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Members are not
obligated to let non-members in to the space at any time.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Members may ask
non-members to leave the space at any time, for any reasons.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> If your collective is
hosting an event or class, one of your responsibilities is to
make sure everyone leaves after the event is over. </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Please ensure members
of your collective understand this information. And please sign
up for an ongoing door shift here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

your hard work and friendship over the past year.</font><br>
