Hail and Farewell Responsibilities
1. Hold a once a month informal
get-together.
2. Here’s a general review list of
things new people should know about:
a.
Think assignments as to living and sleeping
(to include the two cottages and barn and 4 storage sheds) and bedding (the
Hemlocks has some sleeping bags (like 13 (+) I think), etc. Plus there is a 12 person tent (we have to
make a ground cloth from the 4 mil clear plastic rolls here), four cots, a
three sided Cliff Field Pool shelter and outhouse, and many sleeping pads.
There's also probably 12+ sets of long johns, too (adult size, and some for
kids). There's also many extra clothes. There are no leg gaiters presently. Let
the boss know just who is here at the time (once a week in writing ideally).
Maintain a welcome aboard plan, to include sponsors to teach new arrivals
"the way things are setup". Always mention not flushing bleach, antibacterial stuff, prescription
meds, prescription glasses, water for
cleaning paint brushes, oil & grease, hand wipes & female sanitary
products, etc & etc. The intent is to maintain the gravity powered septic
tank system, which uses bacteria to "digest" things like poop, pee,
and routine home cleaning needs. Things that the septic system can't handle
should go into the dump (a hole in the ground), since we do have to get rid of
this stuff. Bottom line, keeping the septic tank system running protects our
long term health, like not getting cholera, as an example. Toilet seats should
be left with the lid closed. Hair must cleaned out of the drains when it
happens. Each "roof" will have a senior person in charge for all
reasons, to include basic health and sanitation and fire prevention. Each house
has a broom and dustpan to use to clean. Rugs can be hung out to beat the dust
and dirt out of as required. Debris from cleaning should be just "thrown
outside" as a start. If the debris builds up, then we can remove it to the
woods, burn it, or even put it a hole and eventually bury it.
3.
Sponsors
will act as escorts (to visitors and new arrivals and departures) as required.
4. The H-1 will coordinate all this.
5. Mention home school and one-room
school house.
6. Mention religious lay people and what
they do.
7. Solicit new arrivals for jobs they
would prefer.
8. Mention medical “system” at the
Hemlocks. Emphasize preventive medicine over corrective medicine.
9. Mention food cooking and serving
methods.
