The SKP Saguaro Co-op’s “un-committees” are working groups that perform important tasks within the park. Some of the “un-committees” are responsible for a specific annual event, while others handle more frequent jobs.
Unlike the standing committees, the “un-committees” operate less formally and don’t have regular meetings. Most of the “un-committees” report to a standing committee, but a few operate independently. Long-term renters, short-term guests, and even SKPs on the Hot List can help out with any of the “un-committees”.
If you don’t have the time to commit to a standing committee or just prefer doing physical tasks, helping with an “un-committee” may be perfect for you!
