I think (& left a note saying) that the only remaining AWARE stuff
in your new room is the giant wooden sign and the metal bookshelf.

When I left, there was a box of assorted videos too,
but I've no idea whose they were.  (Overflow from the Family Room
video library?)

(In the Family Room, there is a lot of AWAREiana stuffed in corners,
which we'll need to relocate somehow or toss.)

That might be fine.  It is a nice set of shelves, and would fit all AWARE's
small stuff (craft supplies...) though we can probably live without it.
Does anyone on peace-discuss care either way?

I think we should talk with Betsem and Atef in the Artists' Commons space
and see whether they'd like to share the additional shelf space with AWARE
at the expense of losing some floor space.  If neither we nor they care,
it might well become your shelf.  Pending some sort of decision, of course we won't
object if you put things on the shelf for the time being, but keep in mind
that we could want to come and claim it some day.
