Bullet points/script for giving tours
Last Status
similar to wood shop
encourage and boost confidence for more members to give tours
more consistency of topics covered
cover more of our culture and what to expect (training, storage, behaviour)
Do we want a bulleted script for tour guides
Steff and Kathy C will survey new members
Do we want a quiz after becoming a new member for the simple/everyday things?
Update
Update member handbook and provide printed copy
Many people more likely to read and remember printed things
Gives new members something to do while waiting to sign up
Include something like a quick start guide of how to get trained?
Markus will look at handbook and edit it
Give each new member a copy
Give handbook at first tour, then have the new member verify that they read it: quiz potential
Face to face instruction instead of the video
Carl will come in 30 minutes before Monday class for new member orientation
Slide deck in wiki for new members
Solves: FAQ, Training questions, Cleaning, Lights, First aid
Update
On Markus’s to do list
Need to print a small run of the brochures
Old Dumpster Pad
Remove old pad and replace with compacted gravel for an additional parking spot
It’ll be in the fall when Cathy’s dad has slow time at work
Update
Markus drilled into the pad and suggests that we just let winter and the ice break up the pad
Tim will see if there are any Milwaukee Tools that can help
