Happy Fall Break! I hope everyone is having a restful extended weekend… not too restful though, as Purdue is quickly approaching! Along with this week’s calendar, we have a few announcements regarding DTS:
1. Liability waivers: please sign a liability waiver this week when you’re using the space. They will be on the table in the entrance area, next to the laminated sign up sheet for chores.
2. Chores: Right as you walk in to DTS, please sign up for a chore on the laminated sheet in the entrance area. If you are unsure how to do something, ask the board member opening that night (it will be written down on the sheet). Returning members: there are new chores this year so please ask for clarification when needed. It is your responsibility to double check that you did something correctly!
3. Some other basic DTS Rules: No street shoes, food, or drink are allowed in the studios. Please do not touch the thermostat. There is also a 40 person limit due to the fire code.
With that, read below to see what’s coming up all week long:
