  • First Aid kit at Norwich building is hung between the Women's and Men's rooms on the main floor.
  • The eye wash station is at the sink directly across the aisle from the First Aid kit.

• Today's RULE comes from our Leather Working Area Champion Adam:
  • When working on the 4×8 table in the leather working area (in the east room at the Lenox building) or on the granite block, NEVER use dyes, paints or anything that can stain. These materials easily transfer to the leather being worked on that table and can ruin a person's project.

* Carl S: FUSION 360 classes are now held at NORWICH (moving from Lenox) at 7 PM. Classes can be attended in person, or virtually (Carl will send you the link). Thank you Carl.
