Brian D's Sendoff to Syracuse University
Will be next Wednesday, June 25, at 8:00 PM. We still haven't settled on a location, but since the Cuban Restaurant next to Black Box Manhattan (the intended July 4 Rest Night Dinner location) will in fact be closed on July 4, we are leaning towards it for Brian's dinner.
In so far (7): Good Sam, Hari, Jacinto, Michelle, Moon, Sam, and Tom
Who else is in?
Those of you interested in contributing to a gift can email me at Hari@CrossfitNYC.com (or post late at night, after Brian has gone to bed).
Current Priorities For Black Box Manhattan
1. Get the air conditioning fixed. (Goal is very early next week.)
2. Get the pull-up system installed and secured. (Goal is this weekend or very early next week.)
3. Create a place for members to change. (Goal is next week.)
4. Put down the flooring. People are dropping weights on the wooden floors. Splinters are flying in the air. (Goal is this weekend.)
5. Organize the Box. Figure out what goes where. (Goal very early next week.)
Customer Service Priorities Brooklyn
1. Purchase wall balls, bands, and boxes, so we can start teaching Beginners' Classes. (Goal is Next Week.)
2. Schedule the first one or two Brooklyn Elements Classes for August, so we have something to offer people who are ready to get stared. (Goal is early Next Week)
3. Get a web site for Black Box Brooklyn functioning. (Goal is Next Week)
4. Repay members who have laid out petty cash. (Goal is Next Week)
5. Do a general safety inspection. Make sure there are no obvious safety issues for people walking into Beginners' Classes. (Goal is This Weekend or Early Next Week)
We want to maximize the value we provide our members--all our members.
