Nobody said to just forget about the club. And Jim Cox wants to send dues! Can't beat that with a stick.</div><div> </div><div>Jim Cox, I would say if you are not a paid member for 2020 and want to renew, get in touch with Jay Johnson and send a check per his reply. Good to hear from you. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jay, I too think that carrying over 2020 dues to 2021 is a good move.</div><div> </div><div>James Bloomer, good news you are hearing from the City about our space. </div><div> </div><div>Jack, your point is very well taken, sounds like from James' comment that our equipment is safe. We have a ton of valuable stuff that needs to be accounted for.</div><div> </div><div>Bob Raasch, thanks much for your thoughts. I would be willing to do sort of an "open library, open tool" event at the Center now and again. I am pretty certain that could be done in a way that meets CDC guidelines. My take would be to not have coffee available (Fine to BYOC), masks mandatory, a bottle of sanitizer available in plain sight and no one hang around for long so our faithful librarians will not be subjected to prolonged exposure, distancing practiced to the extent possible. We might want to stand outside distanced and chat too. I would make my 95 mile round trip now and then for that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Virginia, as our librarian and practicing Nurse Practioner, is this a viable option for us? Would you add something</div><div><br /></div><div>Back to Bob's comments, he also suggested a Zoom meeting and for us to have a pretty defined agenda that is followed so as to maintain interest. Much harder for most of us to focus on a screen where someone is speaking as opposed to our usual meeting style. Board members, an idea: Maybe do a business meeting to submit a formal motion to carry over dues for paid up members to 2021. Also do an election of officers, even it it is to carry over the current board to next year. Perhaps we<span> should try to stay fairly close to the by-laws in these times even if 100% compliance is not practical nor safe. Such a Zoom business meeting should also include an instant gallery. We would need someone with enough Zoom awareness to run or moderate the meeting. Volunteers?</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>Lastly let's figure out a Zoom Demo project to do. Maybe start with something pretty simple like turning a pen. Or a bowl. Or some other spindle project. How to do that safely you ask. Well, If I were to journey to Bob's shop to broadcast him making a project for example, that would expose both of us and wearing a mask makes speaking clearly difficult. But many of us have a spouse or family member with whom we live so maybe that person could be persuaded to do the camera work. Any volunteers. (My little secret, if this happens, you get to pick the topic if you volunteer.)</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>OK, I have exhausted my wellspring of ideas for the moment so will sign off. But, please add your thoughts, ideas and when some thoughts are firmed up, I think the board will take the next step to make something happen. Until then, peace and health,</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>John</span></div>

Also, if we would happen to need more money to get us throught, 2021, we could just do a $15 fee ,to each member to get us into 2022! I think we need a 1 hr zoom meeting each month bye 3 members to conduct any business and show off some good works! This would have to be done at someones house with WiF ??

It would be up to the board what we do, but several possibilities exist. The best possibility would seem to me to be Zoom.
