    5. Public relations. Jennay Oliver will liaise with Chuck Cey re: public relation communiqués for free press opportunities to publicize the KBC.

    6. Recycling and garbage bins (interior) etiquette. Our cleaning lady asks that KBC members keep in mind that mindlessly or intentionally depositing garbage into the bins specifically identified with signage as being only for bottles and cans (i.e. recyclable and / or refundable items) forces her to take time to sort thru the recycling bins to remove garbage, time she could otherwise use for her many other tasks around the club. Not only does this waste the time of our cleaning lady, it forces a lady to sort thru thru garbage. NOTE TO MEMBERS from the KBC executive: Smarten up!

    7. Recycling and garbage bins (exterior), supplier status. BFI takes over from Waste Management.

    8. Smack Down. Smack down 2011 was well attended and greatly enjoyed. Major thanks to Ezreena Scott for organizing this event.
