Fall 22’s Work Holiday is the weekend of October 22-23!
What is Work Holiday?
From our VENERABLE CONSTITUTION: “4.1.4: Work Holiday shall be initiated by the President and coordinated by officers at the beginning of each semester. The purpose of Work Holiday is to perform jobs which do not need to be done weekly and are usually larger than regular House chores. Each House member shall sign up for an equal amount of Work Holiday labor.”
Here’s stuff we do (almost) every time:
- Deep clean each suite
- Steam clean carpet and upholstery
- Clean common spaces: kitchens, laundry room, music room, rec room, bike room, fitness room, etc.
- Make lunch for everyone
- Clean the office, sort mail
- Clean the trunk room
- Primp the grounds
- Prep for the after party (!)
Project ideas
Send us ideas for SPECIAL PROJECTS and if approved the house will buy any necessary supplies and labor! Email the President with project proposals and they will be voted on at the next House Meeting. Make sure these are submitted at least in time for the House Meeting before Work Holiday occurs, remembering that House Meetings occur bi-weekly. However, if the House Meeting is on the same week as Work Holiday, the officer team might request that project proposals be submitted sooner. Pay attention to email guidance on this. Past projects include: Painting the pool room Painting a hallway Painting a mural Non-painting activities also Here's an example of a Work Holiday project proposal to plant a tomato garden.
