UNIVERSAL
Since we have had absolutely no interest in someone buying the
universal, we have agreed to let Elph take it off our hands. Once it
is gone, we will come to the community with a dot storm survey for
what we want to get next.


FAMILY FARMS
We had a lengthy discussion about what we could do to make our
members feel more comfortable with Family Farms being here every
week. During the discussion we touched upon: possibly charging rent,
being VERY good about cleaning, making sure they adhere to the time
(and make sure the time is accurate). parking. The rate we are
tossing around is $50/month. This would go a long way to help those
folks who might feel slightly taken advantage of. Becky will talk
with Deb A. about it, as she is the current host for the group.

Legal update: Family Farms can now legally do what they do.

Shlepping carts:
We want to keep the CH clean - so we encourage people to not bring
them in unless they have a very large load. Remind people to use the
new door stops so the doors don't get damaged and to sweep up after.
However, we do realize that when there are large loads, it is nice to
bring the carts inside.
