Baxter reminds us that "Saturday cleaning crews consist of 5 members. Each person is assigned a list of chores. The lists, A through E, are assigned to each group of tasks. They may change periodically. Be sure to look at the job descriptions on the .pdf files attached to your email, copies of which are posted at the boat house over the Battery Desk to the right of the main entrance. Below each list is a place for the member to enter his/her name, comments about problems or materials and the date the work was completed. This work may be done independently between the Thursday and the Tuesday surrounding the assigned Saturday. The lists will be collected and replaced monthly."You are scheduled for CLEAN UP on the date beside your name if your name appears on the list on the right. If you cannot be there, it is your responsibility to get a replacement. Please make every effort to do this.
"The Club is depending on you!
"Clean Up instructions are also posted on the bulletin board.
"PLEASE NOTE: Take any dirty boat-cleaning towels home for washing. Cleaning Supplies are in the 2nd floor closet."
Clean up of our boathouse is an important part of each member's responsibility. Not only does it save money that we would otherwise pay a cleaning company, but it does two other good things:
1. It engenders the commitment and enthusiasm of each person who participates in the cleaning, which perpetuates a sense of ownership and caring for our beautiful facility. Without that participation, care of the boathouse would soon be 'someone else's problem.'
2. Cleanup by our members has shown itself to be of much higher quality than that of a commercial service. We tried a commercial service a few years ago and there was constant dissatisfaction with the boathouse's cleanliness and orderliness.
We have to supervise ourselves as there is no “boss” at this time. So let's do our best.
Remember:
1. Your responsibilities begin at 8:30am Saturday.
2. If you can't be there at that time, call another cleaner and arrange to do your work at a time convenient to you.
3. If necessary, get a substitute. Don't just leave the job undone.
4. If you do not have a boathouse key and an alarm code, call another cleaner to be sure someone with a key and code will be present when you get there.
5. The whole “clean up” procedure will take about an hour. Arrange between the cleaners present to check that all balcony doors are closed and locked. If possible, do a walk-around to feel comfortable that all is well.
6. Report any problems (to Baxter Walsh until someone else is designated) and they will be elevated to the appropriate Board Member.
The entire club depends on you to do this maintenance task.
Speaking for the members who don't have to clean on your Saturday, “THANK YOU!”
