Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 2:45PM Board members: please remember to check your mailboxes!!
KITCHEN NOTES: A large crock pot has been found in a cupboard in the kitchen. Please claim if it belongs to you. It is a Proctor Silex white with dark green insert. The small coffee urns are now kept in the lower cupboard across from the dishwasher. The four of them have been moved there in order to create counter space. If you have something that you use and would like kept, please label so others are aware. The kitchen has become a real catch-all and many things do not pertain to kitchen service. Items left on top of the cabinets are a safety issue as well causing clutter. Please help in keeping our kitchen clean and tidy.
