Culture Coordinator:
Food Planner: It's on me for running out of vegan cheese and butter. I usually buy 2 bags of cheese because its about the same amount of money for regular cheese. We should be good on vegan butter. We need to do bulk shopping soon so I am going to see if anyone can swap for bulk shop.
Grounds Coordinator:
Kitchen Kaiser: Justin - Just a reminder that the kitchen labor sheets I've posted on everyone's doors are temporary. Also, taking out the compost is part of DB. Please do so even if it's not close to full. Sasona Kitchen Mgr

Minutes Taker:
Steward: Jessi: Only David, Rowan and Mae got special accomadations. Please use the tracker becuase then there is triple time fines after. You can sell up to 2 lumps. We’re entering the home stretch for our Fall Labor Holiday, and I want to send a warm reminder that we have 8 days left to complete our hours. This is one of the ways we collectively care for our big, quirky, cozy home — and each other. Why Labor Holiday Matters. Labor Holiday is our chance to come together, tackle bigger projects, and keep Sasona thriving. It’s a twice-to-three-times-a-year reminder that our community exists because we all contribute to the common good. When we care for our home, we care for the people in it. Your Required Hours. Each member is responsible for 2–4 hours of Labor Holiday work (based on the Labor Czar’s guidance for this cycle).All Fall Labor Holiday hours must be completed by: November 30, 2025. If you haven’t signed up yet, the project sheets are on the dining room wall. I've also printed a Labor Holiday Hours Tracker sheet to be filled out. Grab a buddy and team up — most projects are designed for two people. It’s much more fun that way anyway. Selling Labor (if you need flexibility!)
As a reminder from our house policy:
- Members may sell up to 2 hours of their Labor Holiday labor.
- Sold hours must be sold for at least $20/hour.
- Important: Fines After Nov 30 Per house policy, Labor Holiday hours must be finished within 4 weeks of the official date. Any hours not completed by Nov 30 automatically go directly to fines at: Triple Time — $30/hour (No single-time makeup period available beyond November 30th for Labor Holiday hours — they go straight to triple-time fines.) Let’s Wrap This Up Together Whether you’re scrubbing, sorting, repairing, painting, organizing, or beautifying — thank you. These shared efforts keep our space functional, beautiful, and grounded in the spirit of cooperation that makes Sasona what it is. Let’s make these last 8 days count and take care of our home the way it takes care of us.
- Talked to David M about some culture things and thank you to everyone for the wifi help.
Caleb: what are associates responsibilities
Jessi: still 4 lumps. I will quote the policy and send it along
Eevee: if anyone has labor they need to sell I'll help you.
Jessi: some of what i did for labor holiday is on the new wiki so if you find anything funky let me know.
Treasurer: Eevee: Essentially we just needed to update our payment to our credit card. Seb has not gotten a deposit return so we dispersed it and they were understanding about the lateness. Nothing major from finance meeting. I am working on getting on the bank account and matthias is helping. Hopefully this week. Rowan: can you switch over house amazon Eevee: I have access to all accounts except for frost account to pay our rent. Jessi: was justin at the meeting Eevee: yes

Agenda Items
Agenda Item 1
(Alice) The use of slack as a tool for demonization and witch hunts
Agenda Item 2
(Kaycie and Bailey) “Pause” Kaycies associate membership - pause begins Dec. 1st (modelled after “pause” on Ella's associate membership) i.e. Kaycie would not need to attend two meetings and can resume associate membership @ any point within 6 months of the pause
Kaycie: i don't have as much time to do labor and would like to save on the fee. I am still into Sasona and not exactly sure what my timeline is and not do the two meetings to come back unless its past 6 months. I also wanted to make sure everyone is still good with me hanging out here
Bailey: i just couldnt remember when we did this for ella if we specified the time for the pause. I put the 6 months that way because its modeled after different policies.
Jessi: i am glad we are doing it this time. i think we should put an end date (May 31st)
Rowan: just to clarify, are you still an associate next week
Kaycie: yes. The end of this month. Sometimes I am down to help people with their labor. I know people have said you can't help with labor
Rowan: i dont really understand not having someone do your labor. I also love Kaycie's food so much. Bailey motions: “Pause” Kaycies associate membership - pause begins Dec. 1st (modelled after “pause” on Ella's associate membership) and would end May 31st i.e. Kaycie would not need to attend two meetings and can resume associate membership @ any point within 6 months of the pause Caleb seconds Vote: 13-0-0 MOTION PASSES
