I envision the move taking place in July if approved and we would be able to temporarily store items in the shop space until our storage is in place. We will also have the elevator to move stuff up and down. It is located adjacent to the classroom.

The commons area, the cafeteria, and the chapel are available for larger events or specialized needs. We would have to communicate with the school on their use and to see if there are conflicts with other schedules. The commons and cafeteria would be for larger than normal demos, the chapel would be for 100+ plus person events.
> -Parking; There is ample parking close by the shop rear door. If needed the commons door can be fobbed open for anyone needing help to get in. 
> -Cost; There is no rent for the space. We as a club would hold an open shop night once a month minimum, where we would teach woodturning techniques. We would set a curriculum and schedule volunteers. There is the option to hold more than one if the subject requires it. They also would like fundraising item donations from time to time. 
> -Food; We would be able to have our coffee and snacks in the classroom space. Obviously we would strive to be good guests and clean up after ourselves. Larger scale (Meals during an all day class/demo would be done in the cafeteria. Communication with the school ahead of time to make sure the spaces are available. 
> -Internet; For the purpose of streaming the meetings we would Identify the  devices the would be going onto the school network and their IT would load the necessary info(username and password)
> -Teaching during school hours; Dan Larsen is open to letting us teach woodturning during the school days for up to a week. He works off a project principle and can shift if an opportunity comes up for us to teach.. Instructors would have to go through a background check which the school would pay for. This is another way to pass on our craft. It is something to consider down the road
> -Chairs; We would be able to get chairs in the shop space for the meetings. Also we could hold the general meeting in the classroom then adjourn to the shop for a demo. 
> -Display; There are cabinets near the shop space. One idea floated is that items from our pop up gallery would be showcased there between meetings and updated at the next meeting.
> -Meeting openness; We are allowed to continue being open to all who want to come learn. As a school club we would be added to their calendars and other social media sites, opening us up to more visits from students and parents. With the additional space we can reach out to other schools and invite them as well when we have demos.
