Baker Berry Staff Kitchen (brought up by Brenda Delaney)

- Kitchen is still an issue, especially the fridge and freezer
- Cherie Burns is still working on a cleaning schedule, but departments haven't been open to the ideas, departments don't want to be responsible
- Suggest get kitchen cleaned, then hand over to department rotations
- Post schedule and checklist in kitchen
- Instead of $720 to clean kitchen, spend a little as a thank you? (might turn into a whole other mess)
- Lock for a couple cupboards for DCLSA stuff?
