The Kelder Committee of via ensures that the Kelder (our association room in room L0.04 in LAB42) is in excellent condition every day and that the stock is kept up. Thus, the Kelder Committee ensures that all members of via can get their cup of coffee, a tasty snack, a delicious beer or a carton of milk in the Kelder every day. It is also up to the Kelder Committee to advise on new products in the Kelder, to repair broken items, and above all to help people with questions get answers. Basically a jack-of-all-trades!
