Happy new year fellow CHAOC residents. What is your top wish for the Clinton Hill Apartments in 2009?
(and hopefully your new year resolutions include increased participation in co-op activities!)

A CHAOCblog reader made an interesting remark regarding the proper etiquette of holiday gifting for our Maintenance, Management and/or Security staff. I have no idea what the expectations are about this but one year I gave a plate of homemade cookies and $20 another year to the maintenance guy who is assigned to my building. It’s the least I can do for such a friendly person who is always making sure my place of residence looks and feels clean. Only once did I drop off tins of nuts and snacks to the Maintenance office. I’ve never even considered giving anything to the Management office.
I don’t know what I’ll do this year, or what is “proper”.

Unfortunately I haven’t been home for the past few Halloweens so am unsure if the kids in the building trick-or-treat to residents. Where I grew up the town had designated hours for the kids and people knew to be home. Does anyone know if something like this would work well here?
I also heard about the Children’s Halloween Walk in Clinton Hill (see the Society for Clinton Hill site for more details) and was thinking if there is a way our co-op which is such a large part of the community could participate. Its too late for this year, but how about a display and contest of carved pumpkins? They can be lined up along the walkways in the south campus since the public can enter. Maybe I just miss having a good reason to carve a pumpkin…
