The Woodworking class scheduled for February – March has been cancelled for lack of students. We only had one person sign up and I will work with him for a later class or individual training.
There is a Welding class that started yesterday, Feb 4, that will last for a month. We are revamping the Welding class as discussed at the officers meeting last week and will be offering it starting in March.
As always, if you have a passion and would like to share it please let me know. I have sent out an email to the membership requesting interest in several possibilities. I will continue to ask for volunteers but will now also offer direct compensation for instructors as per the officers consensus.
