 +===== Safety Note ===== 
 +  * Younger members: are you tired of having to repeat yourself to some of our senior members? Then wear ear protection to save your hearing. 
 +Hearing loss can occur when exposed to 85 decibels of noise averaged over 8 hours. Let’s put this in perspective. Normal conversations typically occur at 60 decibels, well below the hearing loss threshold. For every 3 decibel increase past 85 decibels, hearing loss can occur in half the amount of time. So it only takes 4 hours of exposure to 88 decibels for hearing loss to occur, and 2 hours of exposure to 91 decibels. Once noise levels exceed 100 decibels, a person can suffer hearing damage in as little as 15 minutes.  
 +  * The louder the noise, the faster hearing loss occurs. 
 +  * Where do the tools at the Space fit into this picture? 
 +     * Air compressors from 3 feet away register 92 decibels, which would take less than 2 hours to cause hearing loss 
 +     * Powered drills register 98 decibels, which would cause damage after 30 minutes 
 +     * Typical factories often register at 100 decibels – that’s 15 minutes of exposure 
 +     * Powered saws can reach 110 decibels from 3 feet away, which could cause permanent hearing loss in under 2 minutes 
 +     * Hearing protection is a choice…….the facts are the facts. 
 + 
 +===== Helpful hint  ===== 
 +  * Vacuum filters can be messy to clean. The #1 shop tip on the internet is: Use a leaf blower to clean out your vacuum filter. You can stand further back with a leaf blower than when using an air hose which helps keep your lungs and clothes a bit cleaner. Just make sure you anchor the filter so you don't have to go to the McDonald's drive through line to retrieve the filter from under a car over at our Lenox facility. 
 + 
 +===== Rule and Regulation of the Week ===== 
 +  * If you see something, say something or else nothing can be done about it 
 + 
 +===== Member Topics and Announcements ===== 
 +  * New tool in the Lenox woodshop. A "new" 14" Delta bandsaw. No additional training required. Attach a shop vac for dust collection 
 +  * Mike T: St Frances Police are putting on a bike rodeo on June...; please volunteer if you can between 8:30 and 11. 
 + 
 +===== Post Meeting Reminders ===== 
 +  * Any interested new members, see a Board Member to discuss the sign-up process.  
 +  * One On One Introductions of Members to Guests 
 +  * Begin Tour by Carl and Karen
