The Tenant Association will be having a meeting tomorrow (Sunday 7) at 2:00 pm to coordinate the volunteers that want to help gather signatures. If we as tenants want to have time to explore our options regarding the future of the building, we need to get more than half the building to sign on as members of the tenant association. The idea is to begin canvassing (going door to door gathering signatures) on Monday if possible, and to be successful we really need some help!
The meeting tomorrow (Sunday 7) will be at 2:00 pm in Room 100, the first door on your right when you exit the main elevators on the first floor. If you can't make it tomorrow but would like to volunteer, email the guys of the Tenant Association at 1500massavetenantassoc@gmail.com and they'll let you know what you can do to help.
Hope to see you all tomorrow!
