Nothing changes re:logging hours. The Woodshop SOD program was a specific weekly event intended to support newer members. It required volunteers to sign up and commit to a regular Saturday schedule, and over time it became increasingly difficult to reliably staff. That, along with the work being done during SOD hours not aligning with the original goals, is why we’ve decided to pause the program.
Maintenance is still welcome and encouraged at any time for anyone who has been given the go-ahead by staff and/or leadership.
In the new year, we’re hoping to develop a better approach that accomplishes two main goals:
-
Providing guidance and supervision for newer members in the woodshop
-
Keeping our equipment well maintained and safe to use
If anyone is interested in helping us achieve these goals, or is willing to provide feedback about the previous iteration of the program, please reach out!
