• Ladder safety has its ups and downs.
• When on a ladder, never step back to admire your work.

• This week's rule is by Faith F, our Facilities Director:
  • We are going to do a purge of both refrigerators at Lenox now that the more members are coming to use the space. If you have anything in there currently, you need to put your name and date on it. During Space Improvement Day everything unlabeled will be thrown out.

Reminder: if you put something in the fridge or the freezer it needs to have your name and a date on it. Each space improvement day the fridge will be purged. If there is no date on the food, no matter how long it’s been in the fridge, it will be thrown out. Food items should not be in the fridge for more than a week.

We know that some members like to plan ahead and put a few items in the freezer for other days that they will be at the space. This is fine, but remember that the freezer is not your own personal space and that there are other members who use the fridge/freezer space. (Another way to say this: you share the freezers and refrigerators with 310 other people).

• Carl S: FUSION 360 classes are now held at NORWICH (moving from Lenox) at 7 PM. Classes can be attended in person, or virtually (Carl will send you the link). Thank you Carl.
