Kim and Jenn looked at the fence around parking lot, still an area that students are getting through. Jenn making a followup phone call to Fence company

Still need curtains in Cat’s Meow

Request for new curtain hooks in main bathroom, current ones are not working and falling apart…..anyone know how to obtain hotel quality supplies for remodel?

The drawers in the rooms are sticking due to wear and tear on wood – need to look into that repair

Possible water damage in Hole in Wall and Porch

Hoping to get Penny to obtain bid to paint the sleeping porch, women hope to have a sisterhood to decorate with stars and crescents when they return in the fall if we can get the room painted

Need for bath mats in the Main bathroom-blue to match new paint. Also girls thought mirrors on wall when you walk in (where furnance)

March Planning Session 2007

Planning Ideas:

Email to House Manager-we'd like to plan a visit...do you have a chapter meeting or all house we could say hello at in late March or early April?

House Cor would also like to personally check in with you regarding plans for end of year check out. We would love the house to be emptied of "stuff" by the actual women of the house so that we could pay someone just to clean, not clean up stuff! We are totally open to your ideas or possible ideas from the women! We are also wondering if you are personally able to stay until all women have checked out with you ( I believe this is in your job description?). Here is a possible idea for a checkout...

Checklist:
Remove all belongings/garbage and wipe down the following areas:
Individual Room Space
Closet Area in Room
Common Area in Room
Desk Area (if applicable)
Bed Area
Mailbox Space
Bathroom Cubby
Name:______________ Room:_______________
Checkout Initials:______ Date:______________
*Deposit not returned until space is checked by House Mom or House Manager*
*New deposit will be required at the beginning of the school year*

Communication to House Cor. for WSU visit:


Ladies- who would be available for a DDD end of year visit on March
26th,
which is a Monday.
Goals: Mingle with the girls
Meet with Danna to coordinate end of year checkout.
Share/gather priority list of fix ups over summer.
Check in Penny on summer fix its.
Confirm with Kim cleaning contract for summer.
Pick up extra paint from bathroom and recycle to Lindsay for
reimbursement.

I think it would be really valuable for as many of us as possible to
go! We could also motivate the gals to recruit 30 more women!! Ihave
finally just called Michelle Shimberg and she said she would just ask around
if anyone would like to donate! She also plans to do a spring visit to
the U, UoI and WSU. Cool huh?
Wendy/Kay-- should we ask the Spokane Alums for interested donations?

Kallie- could you please give us a budget update the week before this
March date? THANKS! We also need more deposit slips and checks for
our
fundraising account. I'm not on it...so I'm not able to do that!

Final costs on February fridge project. Fridge $504.64, Labor to
deliver/install $190, also installed were curtain rods in bathroom.
