House President Stuff

Dear House Members,

I have not been posting here too much because my mid-semester activities were very redundant (but not in a bad way!) I was working every week meeting with managers, preparing for House Council, meeting with House Members about issues or concerns, etc.

However, this week has been very different and I have been busy preparing for elections.
- Sending out election info
- Gathering the list of candidates
- Meeting with candidates
- Meeting with managers and the house (council) to discuss the new ballot
- Making the new ballot
- Collecting speeches to be sent out via listserv to the House
- Printing and preparing for speeches

Please remember that Speeches will take place Tuesday night 4/21 at Dinner. Please arrive promptly. We will be sending out the speeches via email, but in-face communication is much better, so if you can make it, please join us.

Also another heads up is that we will be having another round of VOCs in a few weeks!

Thanks!

Nat

Sherman Bakes

I just started a baking blog for the house- you all (hopefully) got an email about it a few minutes ago. It's called Sherman Bakes, and it's a place to share your favorite recipes. If you want to contribute, let me know, and I'll add you to the list. Feel free to post general cooking recipes too!

What I've Been Doing

Since spring break I've been doing the same ol' same ol': reimbursements, paying bills, etc.

Things of note: been getting calls from people either boarding or wanting to move in. I've shown the house around a bit.

Reimbursed Sarah to the tune of $900 for our new grill. That's exciting.

Paid a few bills right after spring break. I believe they were internet and at&t. Yesterday I paid cable.

Reimbursed Keighley and Evan for music and story night expenses. We have a good amount of money (about $1200 I think) for special dinner. That's a lot.

More KM stuff...am I the only one writing here now :)

-Elections coming up soon. Explained @ council what we do, our comp, our hrs., etc.

-Went to KM mtg. on the 31st. We voiced our concerns with CK like how we aren't told til the day of that some foods aren't coming or how the food ordering system is kinda antiquated or how they should change the way CK workshifts are chosen so we don't have a problem like what happened last semester.

-Special Dinner sign-ups going up soon; when we know date.

-Talked w/Shivani about how if we want mops people MUST clean them proper. Otherwise it'll all be a wash (pun intended) and the mops will have to be tossed.

-Might be getting new boarder through CO. Yay more hrs! Massage shift, anyone? Will it happen?
