COVID and TOURS

  • We have been having consistent, SAFE, successful tours!
    • COVID is still going strong and with flu season returning, both flu and COVID numbers have increased.
    • It is more important than EVER to wear your mask ALL THE TIME, practice handwashing/sanitize your hands, and disinfect work surfaces before and after you use them.
      • We have had complaints about people not wearing masks. WEAR THEM.
      • If you are eating or drinking, lower your mask only for the time you consume food and beverages, wash your hands, and then raise your mask again.
  • Skedda
    • Limiting to 8 slots for now, PLEASE book your time
    • If a board member catches you in the shop and you've not booked your time, you will be asked to leave for the day
    • Board members reserve the right to pop into the shop for board related business at any time, but we will be booking our time if we're there to work anyway

Shop news

  • Classes
    • Class signups through November and December are really solid so far
    • Lots of exciting new classes being offered, check the website for details, schedule, and to signup!
  • Laser Cutter
    • Needed a different tube, should be here tomorrow, hopefully the laser cutter will be up shortly after that
  • Resin Printer
    • We raised the money, it's on the way

Shop finances

  • <Becky to fill in numbers>
    • Obviously, we've been down a significant revenue stream because of the laser. But that will change soon!
  • My goal is to reach $10,000 by the new year. Perhaps another "Justa Cuppa"-type fundraiser.
    • If we reach this goal, we will be financially stable enough to afford a dumpster.

Rule Reminders

  • With the laser going back up, let's do a laser rule refresher!
    • Laser time MUST be both paid for AND logged in the paper log on the laser desk.
    • Laser time is limited to four hours a day per member.
      • We will be erecting a large sign reminding members about laser rules. If necessary, we will put a RFID lock & payment system on the laser.

Recognition for Awesomeness

  • Andy for letting us use his truck for garbage disposal at the shop clean
