Approved Woodshop Monthly Plan for Classes
After a discussion of the current DMS financial situation and the Honorarium changes being considered, the Woodshop committee approved the following plans in an effort to support the BoD issues and fulfill the Woodshop Committee mission:
Woodshop will go from the recent 77 honorarium classes per month to 20 honorarium classes per month. This will reduce the Honorarium cost from $7700.00 per month to $1,000.00 per month with the new 25/25/15 plan (we only train members so the $15.00 non-member doesn’t apply) and we already charge $5.00 per class for basic WS1-4.
These classes will be recognized for honorarium.
1 Multicam Class – Test out paid to instructor
1 Lathe 101 class
1 Pen Turning Class
1 Lathe doodad Class i.e. Bottle stoppers resin etc
4 Wood carving classes – May change based on Instructor commitment
2 (8) Wood Shop 1-4 classes
16 total classes
This plan leaves 4 honorarium classes open to correct for demand
