As you progress, try these exercises holding on with one fingertip. REMINDER Labelling of clothing Before placing new items of clothing in resident s wardrobe, please place them in a plastic bag and leave with Reception in order for Hospitality staff to label the clothing thereby reducing the possibility of missing items. With the change of season it is now time to check that clothing appropriate for the warmer weather is in wardrobes rather than winter clothing. Please remove any articles of clothing not required during the Spring / Summer season.

So the project team named The Green Team have started looking at some small projects that over time have a huge impact... ideas to start the ball rolling include: introducing keep cups in the café start a bottles and cans recycling program set up a compost bin phase out use of plastic bags in waste paper bins change plastic straws for paper reduce the amount of paper printed separate all waste to maximise recycling Over the next few weeks you will notice new signage for our bins. These signs are designed to inform, direct and promote our new recycling regime at Rembrandt Court. We have 3 symbols; the yellow tree signs are bins for plastic recycling, the green tree sign is for paper recycling and the black tree sign is for general rubbish (note: only general rubbish bins will have bin liners). Please look out for these symbols prior to placing anything in our bins and thank you for helping us to take better care of the environment. Together we can create change, inspire others and help keep our environment healthy.
