 The Leesburg committee will be meeting Tuesday, Jan 9th at 6pm to discuss some possible changes in room placements.

We have gone around asking members who use each room we are looking to move about what they think, and are open to hear suggestions ahead of time as well. You can send through SLACK to Jessee

We will also be adding a suggestion box to the Leesburg location in the coming week.

• There will be a workday this month! Finally! Saturday, Jan 13th 9-2pm. Jessee will be hosting the first half, and ken will be there for the second half. A to-do list will be added to the Leesburg SLACK channel after the Leesburg committee meeting on Tuesday. 
• We are still 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, so if you have any you would like to donate, please let Jessee or John Carter know.
• 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. 
• Jessee would like to thank Tami S. and her two daughters for all of the hard work they put into the Leesburg location this past week and a half! They painted, rehung stuff on the pegboard, wiped EVERYTHING down and more! I think they may be tied with Alisha for hours spent cleaning Leesburg this past month.
• There is a large piece of plywood that was left on the front porch. is it yours?

• 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". EDIT: its been a month...
• The extruder was ordered about 6 months ago, and has finally arrived! It's waiting to be picked up in Leesburg

•  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 on the machine, please contact Jessee M or John Dubelko through SLACK
• Rotary Classes coming soon!

• Powder Coating and Anodizing areas are set up and ready for use. Contact Brad Hess with questions.
