Community Announcements (~chat)
Re: Call for flood assistance - optics, audience
yesterday i hesitated to put out a request for help on the community announcements chat because i was afraid on the optiics, new people being like wtf is wrong with this building, us maybe looking like we don't have our shit together, but i'm wondering if that's totally wrong headed, and enlisting the aid of the people around us because its only all of us doing or not doing in the first place. like people participate in a community, this one in particular theoretically, because they could potentially help out with any aspect. and new york floods all over the place we're not special
Flood Prep (~chat)
Gym + programming (~chat)
Sharing this from gym here too (already sent to programming/rentals) : Requests from the gym for scheduling events:
- At least one week notice for scheduling WHOLE SPACE events (events that require the gym to be closed)
- We look at the RC google calendar every Monday and block off on our gym calendar if we see an event that says WHOLE SPACE in the title (this is what we did with Woodbine). If the event is up for less than a week before happening, we won't see it
- Prefer WHOLE SPACE events to begin 7pm onward when possible as 5-7pm weekdays are our busiest gym hours that people depend on. Okay if the event starts before 7pm if there's other weeknights open.
