>I will list everything to date as it stands
>-Longevity; We would meet once a year to evaluate whether the 
>arrangement is a good value for both of us. So, no sudden eviction. If 
>we are failing to add value to the school or the school is not 
>supporting us then we would part ways
>-Storage; The space on the second floor is about 12.5 feet wide by 8 
>foot deep. If we were to move we would bring the fencing from the 
>community center to install at Luther. 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.
>-Insurance; We would maintain our policies. If it is a school event we 
>are participating in their policy covers. Club events are under ours
>-Safety; any and all members would have to take the safety 
>course/training for the individual tools. The club would maintain a 
>roster of members that have completed the training by item.
>-Spaces available; We would have access to the wood shop for general 
>meetings and demos. One or more individuals will be identified to 
>receive key fobs for the doors. 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.
>-Restrooms; Male/Female/Wheelchair accessible are about 20 feet from 
>the shop.
>
>I hope this covers a majority of the questions. I did send out a few 
>pictures I took from the tour.
