Hello everyone!

This year’s Spring open staff meeting will take place on Sunday April 12th at Parts & Crafts — 577 Somerville Ave, Somerville, MA 02143.

The open staff meeting gives you, the enthusiastic Spring attendee, the opportunity to see and participate in the inner workings of making Spring happen. Staff will present some of the big changes and decisions on the table this year, and listen with attention and gratitude to your feedback and ideas about Spring.

Directions to Parts & Crafts (and more information about them if you’re curious) can be found here:

If you can’t find parking on Somerville Ave there’s also free parking across the street on Bleachery Court, to the right of the rink. And anywhere you see Somerville resident only parking is fine since it will be Sunday.

Here’s a look at our current agenda for the meeting:

  • Financial update
  • Changes to sliding scale and payment plans
  • No more auction
  • Policies created in the past and how they will work moving forward
  • Kids at Spring — possibly for the long weekend?
  • Spring as a not for profit
  • How to invite people to Spring

If you would like more details about any of these items, please feel free to drop any of us an email and we’ll be glad to tell you more. Likewise, if you have any additional items you think should be added to the agenda, please let us know and we’ll try our best to fit it in (being mindful of the limited amount of time we have available).

We’ll start at 10AM with a ring-style check in, and then move on to the scheduled agenda. At some point in the middle we will break for a potluck style lunch, so please make sure to bring something yummy to eat or drink (but no alcohol, please, in keeping with the Spring spirit).

If you’re planning to attend, or aren’t sure but are considering it, please let us know via this RSVP form:
