'''Work Holiday''' is an opportunity to clean the house in areas that don't typically get cleaned on a weekly basis.'''Each member must contribute 4 hours of labor''' (in addition to regular chores) on the weekend voted on by the house near the beginning of each semester. Sign-up sheets will be posted outside the [[Laundry Room|laundry room]]. On the sheet you will see make-up slots for if you can't make it, but please try to sign up for a shift if you can. Either way you'll have to contribute 4 hours, and if you come to Work Holiday you'll get donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch on Saturday!

<big>Fall 2022’s 22’s Work Holiday is the weekend of October 22-23!</big>
== 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.”
Basically everyone contributes four hours to help clean all the things. It all happens in one weekend. Here’s stuff we do (almost) every time:
* Deep clean each suite
* Steam clean carpet and upholstery

At Work Holiday you can use exciting tools including:
* Steam cleaners
* Shop vacs
* Compressors
* Paint stripping machines
* Your hands
* Your brains maybe
