• There will not be an official workday this month, BUT there will still ne a list of things that need to be done
• We are waiting on an electrician to come and set up a dedicated plug for the Roland UV Printer in the main room on the back right wall. Once it's installed, the Roland will be moved to it's new, hopefully permanent, home. We would like to hang displays/samples when that happens as well
• Member Storage is in a temporary state of change and will be eventually moving. Thank you to everyone who removed items that did not belong in there. HOWEVER, please stop adding to the room. We do not have enough volunteers to complete the project this month, but don't want more work for next month. Please also keep the door closed and do not leave projects in progress in there.
• The area around the new laser is also in a state of constant change! Please be patient with us while we figure things out.

• The last firing of the kiln for the year will be 12/13. So get your stuff glazed by then if you want it for xmas. I will post on the #ceramics channel when the kilns are emptied and you can pick up your stuff.
• We ran an xmas ornament class and a wheel class that both went well.
• The sink is up and running with a catch pot to make cleanup easier.
• We have a bit of a backlog of ceramics that haven't been touched in a while. I'm going to start a countdown shelf where people's projects have 1 month to be picked up before they get shipped to a "ceramics studio in Florida".
• The extruder was ordered about 6 months ago, but has not arrived yet. We will hopefully know more soon
• There is a heater in the room that works but the fan is broken. a Maintenance message has been sent
• I was using the outlet in the back of the room to power a stand alone heater and something popped. I couldnt determine if it was a breaker. I might need someone with some electrical experience to take a look at it.

•  The area around the Nova 51 in Leesburg is in a constant state of change, please be patient while we figure things out. Also, if you are not a steward, please do not go behind the machine unless you are taking off the pass through cover. Also, do not add anything back there. It's already getting cluttered.
• More classes are on the way! please be patient, or contact one of our current trainers to see if they can add a class:
  • Jonathan White, Tim Cotter, Mark Millsap, Ralph Pugh, Jason McCoy
• We need a few more trainers temporarily! If you have been re-trained and feel comfortable in the machine, please contact Jessee M or John Dubelko through SLACK

• Jewelers Bench is mostly set up
• Powder Coating and Anodizing areas are mostly set up and being tested currently
