Website for the GreenHouse: not tacky, maybe green. We haven't decided on anything definite as far as a website goes. Maybe we're still brainstorming.. any ideas?
GreenHouse picture: we talked about having a picture of all the members of the GreenHouse kind of "like a frat", which I think Elspeth said. Bentley's idea was to have "titles like alpha" and Helen wants us to have "nerdy info like in Woods", so maybe we can make all of that work out. When shall we have it you might ask.. Well, we're going to have it at 1:30 this coming Saturday (September 6th) which is 30 minutes before the housewarming party. Becca's going to ask Hanna if she will take the picture.
HOUSEWARMING PARTY!!: This coming Saturday (September 6th) from 2:00 to 5:00 pm, but everyone should know when it is by now. I'm just reminding you. Here are the jobs to get ready for the party and who volunteered for them AND what day they need to be done by. Tell me if I got something wrong.
- Salsa with fresh tomatoes - Laura and Elspeth, Saturday morning or sometime before the party
- Coolers from SOP (3 of them) - Bentley, sometime on Saturday or before
- Healthy cookies - Kate and Carson, Friday
- Unhealthy cookies - Emily, Friday
- Hummus (but we need tahini sauce) - Becca, Friday or Saturday? We didn't come up with a specific day for this one
- Chopping vegetables - Bentley and Jonathan, Saturday?
- Bread - Chelsea and Elspeth, Friday
- Grocery trip - Bentley, grocery list (which will be on fridge) needs to be finished by Thursday so we can get groceries by then at the earliest. SO, that means write down what we need at the grocery before Thursday.
- Tea - Helen and Elspeth, Saturday morning
- Ask PPS for folding chairs and a table - no one picked this one up.. we just talked about it, so we need to figure this out.
- Cleaning - Becca's in charge (because she's super clean and good at it too) and everyone is helping
Music for house warming party: mountain top musicians? Carson, will you see who is willing to play on Saturday? We're thinking more on the lines of background music rather than a concert.
House blessing (during house warming): Dr. Potter will play a song/give a talk. Ask Mae Wallace if she will give a talk (Bentley? I think you said you would do this.. tell me if I'm wrong). Elspeth will say a thank you/give a talk.
Invitations: haven't been sent out, so they need to be sent out as soon as possible. AND Bentley is going to send out a Cstudent e-mail about the housewarming because he is skilled in the art of creating creative cstudent e-mails. We need to send an invitation to the Sewanee local farmers and we need to make sure that we tell the Mountain Messenger about the party as well.
Other meeting news (in the order that we talked about them):
Kate's excited about the two large spools in front of Woods and so are Jonathan and Becca, SO, Kate, Laura, and Elspeth (but not Jonathan and Becca because they have class? I think that's what happened) will go get the spool tomorrow (for the house warming party)? Let me know if this is correct?
"Hippies use back door" was taken down because we didn't want there to be pictures of it in the Chattanooga newspaper. Unsure feelings about the Jackson Hole poster. I don't think people will mind if we take it down (I think that's what we decided).
Jonathan has a black flag with a birthday cake with an X through it.
As far as nails go.. use indoor nails?
Don't leave bikes out in the rain - really bad for bikes. Put them in the basement... preferably not the screened in porch because that room will get really crowded really quickly.
Chore wheel - instructions on the blog and on the fridge. We will rotate jobs after every meeting.
Everyone needs to load their own dishes into the dishwasher and whoever has kitchen duty for the week has to keep an eye on the dishwasher and start it whenever it gets full. Not hard.. oh and we will need dishwasher detergent.
Clean up after yourself in general (as far as shared spaces go... kitchen, living room, porch, etc.... so, it doesn't apply to your room.. clearly)
Meeting duty: 2 person duty. One person heads the meeting and the other one takes minutes. If anyone has anything they would like to have brought up at the meeting then find one of the 2 people that are on meeting duty.
Garden duty refers to the garden in our backyard, so right now whoever has garden duty will just plan for the garden in the future because right now we are only growing grass : (
WORK AT THE GARDEN THIS WEDNESDAY FROM 2-4!!! yea! (highly encouraged.. but not mandatory if you can't make it)
"I would like to direct your attention to the garden game." -Jonathan
Meeting with ERs: vines killing trees, mowing yard (that goes to PPS), everything yard-like that needs to be approved by Hartman
Compost bin in our backyard.. when is that going up?
BIRTHDAY AND CAKES! (no box cakes, they're lameee) and whoever memorizes all the birthdays and favorite desserts gets...... ... ... brownies.. made my me.. no joke. On a first to do it basis. We'll see if anyone actually reads this far into the blog anyway. You have to recite them to me.
- Jonathan: 10/5, chocolate cake, pumpkin cheesecake, summer berry pie
- Bentley: 11/22, pecan pie
- Becca: 2/13, red velvet
- Elspeth: 10/7, chocolate or carrot cake
- Carson: 2/24, red velvet
- Laura: 4/27, carrot cake and ice cream
- Kate: 12/11, oreo ice cream cake or chocolate cake
- Chelsea: 1/9, Fudge pie
- Emily: 3/7, chocolate cake with a whole lot of chocolate
- Helen: 3/12, Banana pudding
- Paul 8/28 or 29?, Paul, what's your favorite cake or dessert?
"I would like to direct your attention to the family creative workshop books." -Jonathan
Speakers to present to the lecture committee? Anyone have any ideas? I think this would be a great way to get people to the house for a small talk or dinner with the speaker after the talk and it would be sweet to get a great speaker here.
Glass bottles in the garden breaking? Not as long as you don't rake the soil or use any hard tools in the beds. We won't need to as long as we have good soil. No glass around main pathways, though, only raised beds.
DON'T WALK ON THE NEW GRASS IN OUR FRONT YARD.
Richie Hubbard's basic needs program.. we may not sponsor a kid as a house, but if you are interested in doing it yourself then go to Kate. Sounds like a great program.
IF YOU PICK UP TRASH IN THE BACK YARD BETWEEN HERE AND BETA THEN CARSON WILL GIVE YOU A BIG HUG!
Bringing classes over to the house? YES! But, I think we need to talk about it as we see it coming just so everyone knows what's going on. Calendar for all the events.. good idea. I think we have one up right now in the main hallway on the first floor.
Stopwatches for timing showers.. we need them right now.
We did have a hummingbird named Tetra last night, BUT, she is okay now! SO SHE FLEW AWAY!!!!! YEA! We'll forever remember her from those 27 hours we spent with her.
THE END.
