Hi all - this is Sang from the Mess Comedy Group. I was asked to send out an announcement regarding the Cleaning Day proposed for this Saturday Feb 20th at the last Delegates Meeting. Wanted to send out the e-mail today to the General Announce list unless there's any new info that requires us to change / postpone. See the draft below and attached. Welcome any thoughts and input thank you. If you don't want to be on emails like in the future please reply back. Apologies in advance. Best Sang ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a draft of what I was planning to send. Also as print out attachment. Let me know if you want me to delete anything that seems too much info... *MESSAGE BEGINS BELOW. PLEASE ADD / CHANGE. ALSO ATTACHED AS PDF.* *Hello Everyone at Omni Commons! Please help with our Cleaning Day on Feb 20th!* I hope everyone has been enjoying the early spring weather. In that spirit, we are planning a *cleaning day on Sat Feb 20th* during the day and hope you can help out the building and everyone by supporting the Commons with your time. As some of you know, the Omni has been seeing some unwanted visitors in the kitchen downstairs and upstairs. Not only is this unsafe and unhealthy but it is preventing the Omni from being able to share the space for events and activities from other members of the community. As part of our plan to help with the rodent situation, we would appreciate available members to come on *Sat Feb 20th* at *11AM*. Cleaning the Kitchens is a first and easy step. That means cleaning out the fridge, sweeping and wiping down the area. Any food out in the open has to be either sealed in airtight containers or thrown out. Specific ways you can help. 1. *Volunteer your time* for a few hours on Sat Feb 20th 2. Bring *cleaning supplies* if you have any to spare - garbage bags, cleaning supplies, gloves and even air filter masks if you’re sensitive to dust or cleaning supplies. Remember to wear clothes and shoes you are okay cleaning in. 3. Help *Keep the Omni Clean* Every Day - if you use the kitchen, please be respectful and clean up after you prepare food. This doesn't mean just washing dishes and throwing away food but also, cleaning any surface or appliance you use. Also, please throw away food you may have left in the fridge. We hope to see you this Saturday and thank you being considerate to your fellow collective members. This is only the first step towards dealing with the pest situation so *please talk to your Collective's Delegates on how you can help* with future projects to protect the Omni. Thank you! Your Omni Delegates
