[Noisebridge-discuss] Housekeeping history

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Maybe we could support the cleanliness and excellences by given out a bit of 
"sugar". I've heard that for example the Kabuki Spring Spa in Japan town is very 
good in free vouchers to non profits. What about getting some and after that 
redistribute it to people who are by the community considered helpful. Cleaning 
gurus, 5 min fame organisers, e-waste crackers etc. could be the "lucky ones". 
No money involved but excellence would be supported.

Sincerely,

Frantisek
