Hi everyone-
So we finally got a chance to meet this week and check in. Here is what we talked about:
-Subletting: Currently we have a few people, we look like we are almost done
-Commitments talk: We first went around and said what commitments we have for next year. We then talked about what we thought the community commitments should be. We thought a required dinner once a week would be good. Other nights dinner could be made for those who could be there. To decide a night for dinner, we are going to meet right before we pick classes and see which day works best. We will need the tentative schedule from people abroad before that. We also thought we should have a short meeting once a week so that dinner wouldn't have to be all business and more community time. We figured one night late would work for that. Other than that, we talked about optional commitments throughout the week, maybe making the commitment to go to one out of the 3 if you can't make all, but it's not a big deal if you have a crazy week and can't go to these. Possible options were: spirituality night, book club, Friday hospitality events (once a month invite people over), invite outside people to dinner, cleaning hour (where we all clean together). We also talked about having a large events calender with things we are involved in so others can join :)
-Moderators: We will send a description of the people we are thinking of to all so that we can comment more (who was doing this?)
-Alcohol issue: We went around and all shared our thoughts. We basically all agreed that we should be respectful of all the people in the house. We should also continue this conversation, especially at the beginning of the semester.
-Our next meeting will be Monday, March 19 at 9:30 in Rambler. Please add your thoughts before then. We think we are going to talk about simple living next time, but if there is any issue you would like to discuss on the 19th please let us know.
Hope you all have a wonderful spring break!

I love the cleaning hour! Fiesta de limpieza, what! Dinner plans are good. When is registration for next semester? Hospitality good. subletting good. Alcohol good--if it becomes a problem or issue we can discuss, i like. patrick speaks like a 5th grader...bad.
we forgot to talk about a way that we can get the word out about our community this semester (maybe the phoenix article) so I think that should be put on the agenda for next week. also....what about basic info about what we have and need for move in bc i think its coming up sooner than we realize.
Thanks for the card, guys!! Made me week!! XOXOXO!!

Dear friends,
I am thinking of you all right now as I sit in the most absurd place in the world. Our bus to San Pedro Sula, Honduras got in late so we walked through the dark and scary city to find a hotel. I was propositioned by a prostitute. The only open hotel in the city is Holiday Inn. We are now staying in a business class suite. I just took a bath. The internet here is faster than at school. Where am I? I hope you are all well. You are in my thoughts.
