Safety Note

  • Today's safety note is from Board member Marcus S:
    • Large 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.
    • When you walk around the Norwich building, you will see where awesome members have painted “First Aid Kit” on the floor. The kits are secured above the message. Good to know where they are before you start to work.

Helpful hint

  • Tonight's is from former Board Member, Chris Thompson:
    • Whenever you're cutting or feeding material into a saw, sander, etc. never ever lean on your piece; push it from a balanced stance. You should always be able to take both your hands off your piece and still be balanced. Otherwise you could fall into the blades.
  • Humorous Helpful Hint: Overheard recently:
    • I don't care how good the new hand soap smells…..don't walk out of the restroom smelling your fingers.

Rule and Regulation of the Week

  • We have gotten a couple of complaints from our neighbors at the Lenox building. Please remember:
    • When parking in the alley, make sure your vehicle is in a designated space and that your vehicle does not extend into the alley. Please remember, our neighbors have to back out of their garages and parking spots. Lets give them room to maneuver.
    • When parking on the street:
      • On even numbered days park on the same side of street as our building (either street: Otjen or Lenox)
      • On odd numbered days park on the opposite side of the street as our building (either street: Otjen or Lenox)
