Greetings, CIC.

Below is an updated email from Jessica Babcock, who is the facilities and maintenance coordinator with the United Churches of Olympia. She is looking for support from partners of United Churches (CIC, Wildwood Gathering, Interfaith Works). Please email her at jessica@theunitedchurches.org if you are interested to help. Thank you!!!

As most of you know, the kitchen will not be part of our larger renovation happening in 2025. We're hoping to address it in 2026 and a lot of folx have put in some good visions for what that could look like. In the meantime, the kitchen could still use some love. I'm envisioning this as a 'working' meeting where we brainstorm what we can do to get the kitchen to good enough until we can remodel it (think cleaning, painting, purging, labeling, etc.). I think we can get her at least to a place where we're all happier to use the kitchen. Below is what I'm thinking of...

• 1st Meeting: Tuesday, November 5th at 12pm
  • Deep clean (walls, floors, sinks, cabinets, etc.)
  • Purge any excess utensils, dishes, etc., if time allows
• 2nd Meetup: early January (ideally before Leg session when folx use the space.) - if not feasible I'd say end of March/early April
  • Sand and paint cabinets, trim, walls? color?
  • Re-label cabinets so it's easy to find what's needed

Thank you so much for your help!
