October 13th Community Council Minutes

October 13^th Minutes

Discussion about last meeting: Cara

-Previous meeting was hectic. Meetings need to be a place for people to safely voice their ideas. Don’t put down others even if you don’t like their ideas.

- Be respectful of others thoughts. Don’t talk over other people, wait your turn.

Conference Claps

-New system where when we get off topic and start to get loud, the designated “conference clapper” of the week will call out conference clap and everyone claps together. The idea is to stay on topic and make the meetings as to the point as possible.

Snaps

-Instead of everybody talking after an idea is mentioned, were going to snap our fingers if you agree with the idea. This will eliminate chatter, keeping us on task.

Lock Your Door Campaign

-You go around to each room, knock on the door (during the day). If someone opens the door, hand him or her a pink slip (info on campaign). If nobody comes to the door you jiggle the handle (DO NOT GO IN THE ROOM), if the door is locked, put a blue slip under the door. If the door is unlocked, put a green slip under the door.

T-Shirts

-A design will be made up to put on fliers. The ideal way to go about ordering is to have people put a $5 deposit down then pay the remainder when they pick up their shirt.

Halloween

-The date may be changed for the party. New possible dates for the party will be Wednesday October 28^th or Thursday October 29th. If we can’t get the children from the local school to come, we can throw a party for the residents.

Open Forum

-Elevator Campaign- complaints about people pushing multiple numbers on the elevator. Needs to be on the radar. Vocal campaign may be the best option, if you see it happen, tell them not to do it any longer. Don’t give people a hard time for what floor they get on/off at. You don’t know why they’re taking the elevator; it could be a personal problem.

-Pink your nails pink campaign. People donate and then get their nails painted pink. More info coming.

-Family weekend: table with refreshments. Bulletin board with leave a message for your children.
