Things that need doing around the space

Jennie to put them up. -Gerald is looking for helpers for an organized deep clean of the kitchen in the beginning of the new year. -Shovel the sidewalk! It is fun and causes us to not get fined by the cit-ay. -Shovel around the dumpster so that our garbage folk can access it and we don't ultimately drown in our own filth, which is, to be fair, a pretty rad way to go. -Clean up after selves. -Empty the garbage. -Empty the dust collector. Use the dust collector. It is your friend. -Don't overfill the dumpster, also causing us to get fined by the cit-ay. -Cord needs run out for projector.

Announcements
- Dec. 31st, 5PM to 2AM, New Years Eve Party with face painting and food and games and supreme merriment.
