Safety Note

  • Today's safety note is from Board member Marcus S:
    • 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.

Rule and Regulation of the Week

  • 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.

Member Topics and Announcements

  • 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. * These classes are now being recorded and are available for viewing on You Tube. Carl will send you the link * Reminder: * Member meetings on even numbered days will be held at Lenox * Member meetings on odd numbered days will be held at Norwich * This will allow for new members to tour each building and attend member meetings on consecutive weeks. * No heavy equipment in the newly paved parking lot for the next few months as the asphalt hardens. Pls reach out to Tom G, Dan J, Jake B or Rudy if you need to use a fork lift outside the building to load/unload.
