I want to ask for more proactive communication from y'all regarding kitchen labor. For example, compost wasn't taken out a few times this week. It wasn't clear if it was:
-emptied then filled late at night -simply forgotten -not done yet -skipped due to laziness -etc
I know there is a lot going on with kitchen labor changes, the impending kitchen remodel and just a lot going on in the house in general. So I'll leave it at that. But kitchen labor is definitely being neglected.

Hey Sasona,
Here's a short list of what I've done this week:
– Spoke with David M about Fay's upcoming Membership Review due to Non-Performance of Labor. Ensured we don't currently have a signed document for her Mutual Termination Agreement. Since we do not have a signed copy, Fay's membership continues with its rights and responsibilities. – Reminded Shane about the pet policy and helped clarify how he can ensure his cats meet our current requirements. – Spoke with Olivia briefly about Pippin's missing fecal test. Olivia does not have a fecal test nor do we have a scheduled date to have one. We will discuss this further at tonight's meeting. I've linked the relevant documents regarding our current pet policy and eradication plan, and printed them off for tonight's meeting. Please review them as needed. – Helped coordinate our Labor Holiday task list. If anyone has any suggestions of things that could and should be done by 2 or more people in about 4 hours, please let me, Mae, Justin, or Owen know and we can add it to our Labor Holiday list. Officers please fill out your sections!! – Assisted Membership Coordinator with clarifying some of our acceptance policies to potential new members. – Reached out to the Board regarding some culture/community situation. (see below)
With a heavy heart, I want to let y’all know that Paul Wuersig — a long-time member at LaRe and our current NASCO Rep for CHEA — was involved in a collision with a car while riding his bike on Saturday, October 11. David M. mentioned this to me briefly, and I was able to get a bit more information from Corey on Thursday. As of this writing, Paul has not yet regained consciousness, but his body is responding to pain stimuli. His vitals are trending positive, though he’s still not out of the woods. Recovery is possible, but it may be a long road ahead.
Paul’s family is in town and will likely stay at his place at LaRe once their hotel stay ends. At this time, there isn’t any concrete information about the location of the accident, so we’re not yet able to reach out to the broader community for any potential footage.
Please keep Paul, his family, and our extended community in your thoughts. I’ve placed a blank card on the dining room table for us to sign with well-wishes to send to Paul when the time feels right. (Thank you, Mae, for providing the card.)
Lastly, I'd like to provide a BIG shout-out/kudos to anyone who showed up to help yesterday to help support our friend David M. Definitely a big thank you goes to the organizer-extraordinaires, Bailey and Vic. Y'all did a great job and it looks like you had fun doing it, too!! Thank you so much.
Thanks all. Please let me know how I can serve.
Best,
Jessi Munn
