AS220 MEET AND GREET / POTLUCK GATHERING
February 21st, 5:30 - 7:30
Empire St. Performance Space
 
 
Hello everyone,
 
I hope everybody is available on the 21st to come to the performance 
space and have a casual evening of eating and meeting :). If you can 
bring your favorite dish/app/dessert that great, but if for some reason 
you can't that's also fine.   Also, I have a painting exhibit up in the 
Taqueria so check it out when you come to the meet and greet. - Ben C.

P.S.
We have two new employees and three new tenants aside from all the folks 
who still haven't met each other so please come on down!!  Also please 
help make the volunteers aware of this so we don't miss anybody!! SC

Well
It's the beginning of another month and time for another round of 
volunteer time.
Please sign up if you have not already. The door calendar is quite 
sparse!!!! We need the support there.

I am asking you all drop me a note and tell me what you are doing to 
fulfill the time.
There are a couple of folks on the door list and Neal is letting me know 
who is gallery sitting. Thank you very much for taking the initiative! 
Really!!
I wish I didn't have to ask. Think about when you pay your rent you also 
sign up for something.

Don't forget this is something in your lease you signed when you moved 
in. We still rely on this even as we continue to grow.

Chloe and I are starting to keep better account of opportunities that 
exist for volunteering and who does what when.

Thanks
Susan
