Notice from Trustees committee: To get organized for the upcoming Jubilee
Celebrations, we are planning a 'Spring Cleaning' week, which will take place in
the last week of April. We point out that all sorts of unnecessary items will be
disposed of. We request that the responsible committees meet in their
departments to make suitable arrangements, so that we don’t throw out
anything important. We also ask for volunteers during this week.
Bekanntmachung vom Wirtschaftsrat:
Im Blick auf die Jubiläumsfeierlichkeiten und die Frühlingszeit, haben wir eine
‘Spring-Cleaning’ Woche geplant, die in der letzten Woche im April stattfinden soll.
Wir machen darauf aufmerksam, dass allerlei unnötiger Unrat in die Entsorgung
geworfen wird. Wir bitten daher, dass die zuständigen Komitees in ihren
Abteilungen die entsprechenden Vorkehrungen treffen, um nichts Wichtiges in den
Abfallkasten zu werfen. Wir bitten auch für Freiwillige Helfer für diese Woche.
