Hey all, Laura reminded me that next Sunday is Mother's Day. which doesn't seem a good date to have a work/painting party. That said let's push everything, but the book removal over one week: Book deadline still Mon May 15 Front hall cleaning & painting: Sun May 21 Omni Pay What You Can Sale: Sun May 28 (if the ballroom is still open that day) Dump run: Tues May 30 Hello Omni, The Welcoming Working Group is slowly getting more organized, sorry it’s taking so long, if you would like to sign-up for a door shift you can add your name to our online shift tracker… https://www.omnicommons.org/frontdesk Even if someone has already signed up on a shift you want go ahead and sign up for the same time as well. That’s actually a good thing, because then someone can stay watching the door while someone else can give tours. We will also be compiling a door shift training manual very soon that goes over Omni rules that must be followed and how to greet/interact with visitors. We are going to be painting and beautifying the front entryway next Sunday May 14. Painting, which will encompass the walls and ceiling, will begin at 5pm. Before painting though some prep work needs to get done, including patching some holes in the walls, replacing ceiling tiles and consolidating & organizing wires, this will happen Saturday night & Sunday morning/afternoon. Contact me if you would like to paint, patch, glue or whatever else in this endeavor. There’s a lot of work to get the whole main hall beautified and part of that is we are shifting, moving, donating books that were a part of the former library. That said, if there are any books you would like to keep for yourself GET THEM NOW, they will be donated and gone by Monday May 15. The Omni Pay What You Can Sale is going down Sunday May 21 all afternoon in the ballroom. I am personally motivated to clear out the basement again, but this is an opportune time for any group or area of Omni to get cleaned out. If there is something your collective wants to get rid of please get it ready for the move to the ballroom. We’re asking that you keep that stuff in your area until the day of the sale, DO NOT move it to the main hall or basement. If you absolutely need the space in your area before May 21 you may move it to the basement ONLY if you are giving your word of honor that you personally will carry it up from the basement to the ballroom on the day of the event. Stuff that does not make its way out via the sale will be hauled away to the dump Tuesday May 23. Hopefully the sale will have generated enough cash to pay for the dump runs. Come to the Welcoming Working Group meetings Mondays @ 5pm or contact me personally if you have any questions or want to help, Marcus

There’s really nothing going on right now during the day that people can participate right now. (is there?) We can however highlight whatever public activities are going on that day and that week. I used the big standing white board to write up 2 events that occurred last night and we should do that every day. It would be really handy to have a weekly handout or poster that people could look at and take as well. Ultimately of course I know there are plans to highlight the collectives and their work and places to better display all the announcements and notices we have. > Lynn > > Thanks for doing the rat work:) > > >> On May 11, 2017, at 9:49 PM, Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> wrote: >> >> Hurray for deep cleaning and rat proofing! >> >>> On 5/11/17 9:12 PM, max cadji wrote: >>> Hey All, >>> >>> We had to take apart a big standing desk thing that the herb collective had in our office because rats were nesting in it. We put it on the street cause we had to get it out, it is relatively clean though at this point. If you want it for the sale, then we can bring it back in to the omni lobby. If not we will try to get it to urban ore or at least load it into our pick up on Sunday so as not to clutter the sidewalk. Our staff is doing a massive deep clean and rat proofing and so it had to go today. >>> >>> Thanks >>> max >>> >>>> On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 8:08 PM, Marcus Zamani <lifenowreborn(a)gmail.com> wrote: >>>> Hey all, >>>> >>>> Laura reminded me that next Sunday is Mother's Day. which doesn't seem a good date to have a work/painting party. >>>> That said let's push everything, but the book removal over one week: >>>> Book deadline still Mon May 15 >>>> Front hall cleaning & painting: Sun May 21 >>>> Omni Pay What You Can Sale: Sun May 28 (if the ballroom is still open that day) >>>> Dump run: Tues May 30 >>>> >>>> >>>> Hello Omni, >>>> >>>> The Welcoming Working Group is slowly getting more organized, sorry it’s taking so long, if you would like to sign-up for a door shift you can add your name to our online shift tracker… >>>> >>>> https://www.omnicommons.org/frontdesk >>>> >>>> Even if someone has already signed up on a shift you want go ahead and sign up for the same time as well.
