Hey everyone,

   Despite the press of finals week we find ourselves needing to have a mini workday at MidE (404 W Kirkwood) this Saturday. We were just cited for not having bike racks installed and could be fined quite a lot of money (thousands of dollars) if we don’t move on it immediately. In addition to the bike racks, there are a handful of other projects (including other future code violations) that we are trying to take on. This includes:

(a) scraping and painting the porch columns, rails, etc,
(b) doing yardwork and gardening
(c) installing/constructing a handrail outside of the kitchen
and (d) possibly clearing more debris/recycling out of the basement
 
   As always, join in any time and contribute in whatever way(s) you are able! Phil (philiphusickthree@gmail.com) will be tackling some of the stuff during the coming week, so please contact him and join up with him if you can put in an hour or two during the week but are unavailable during the weekend! The house belongs to all of us and our internal Gardening Super Committee is planning on holding a bunch of mini work days over the next couple months (look for the announcements!) to give everyone the opportunity of making the yard beautiful, sustainable, and delicious : )

Please join us for another installment of co-op paint-o-rama / clean-o-rama, tonight at 6 pm. We have to do priming in the two upstairs carpeted rooms (24N/S) as well as the three downstairs rooms at the front of the house. There is more to do this time (5 rooms instead of 2), so we will be less in each other’s way than last time.

We can paint/clean for a couple hours and then still have the rest of the evening for fun, drinking, games, music, peace, love, and all that…

Food and drink will have to be self-organized, although there are cooks at our house tonight, just not sure if they can/are willing to cook for 5-10 extra people. Bonus points awarded if you are moving into one of these rooms! ; )

Please join us!!

Happy New Year! Want to live in a co-op?

We still have an opening at 630 E Atwater, and have several openings for our newly purchased, currently-being-renovated house, 404 W Kirkwood! 

Rooms are $450-565/mo (depending on room size) which includes rent, all utilities, household supplies (like laundry detergent, tp), food, and co-op fees. If you or anyone else you know are looking for a place, let us know! 

If you are interest in boarding (paying $100/mo and cooking once a week, in exchange for eating all of your meals with us) also let us know!

(contact Chris at chrisharshaw@yahoo.com or respond here with your email address!)

The construction guys are requesting that the rooms that are having wall construction done on them be completely empty by tomorrow, so they can begin putting up walls!

Please meet up around 5:45-6:00 at 404 W Kirkwood if you can and are able to help out. If there a bunch of us we should be able to knock it out quickly and then have a celebratory drink!

Chris
