<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
From omnicommons.org/wiki/building:<br>
Only members of member collectives are granted 24-hour
access to the space.<br>
Members are asked to not occupy the space without at
least one other member present for safety reasons.<br>
Members are not obligated to let non-members in to the
space at any time.<br>
Members may ask non-members to leave the space at any
time, for any reasons.<br>
<br>
If your collective is hosting an event or class, one of
your responsibilities is to make sure everyone leaves
after the event is over. <br>
<br>
Please ensure members of your collective understand this
information. And please sign up for an ongoing door

Thanks to everyone for your hard work and friendship
over the past year.<br>
