Alfred Haenchen Committee Information
Hi! The following is a list of our ongoing committee and what they are all about.
Maintenance Committee - The members of this committee, look after fixing problems inside any of the units. They are the people who receive the work orders, and fix or repair the problems.
Even if you haven1t much skill with tools, you can always assist with the minutes, flyers, unit inspections, cleaning empty units, and much more. It is a hands on committee!
Landscaping Committee - Outside! Fresh air! This group looks after the maintaining of the grass, trees, etc., they organize the fertilizing, mowing, plowing, planting, mulching
of the common areas around the co-op. If you have a green thumb or like the outdoors, this is for you.
Newsletter Committee - "HAENCHEN HAPPENINGS" a monthly paper, is put together and sent to all members with your help. We all can submit the material—such as poems,
anything about pets, recipes, garden tips, Anniversaries, Announcements, new faces etc.. anything you wish to contribute! Very informative reading.
Member Selection Committee - Member Selection organizes all the information about prospective new members, and conducts the interviews, (like the one you will attend). A unique aspect in the co-op way of living.
Social Committee - Fun and enjoyable events are planned and put together for everyone to have a good time. Come on out for card nights, barbeques, and other social activities etc.. in which we neighbours can get together.
