Clay Studio News - 10/25/2020
Jay has been working since June to get the Fiesta Room Expansion plans completed by the architectural firm that GVR works with. Zoom meetings are not a good substitute for walking through a space and pointing out what needs to happen. It has been a long process but last week we were informed that the plans had gone to the county and had been approved. The project has gone to three contractors for bids. Bids are due back by the end of this week.
We are in the process of getting the millwork ordered from a company in IL. If anyone has a laser measuring tool, we would love to borrow it for a few hours. The entrance to The Springs and the truck which will deliver the millwork are only 1” apart in height. We have been told the Exit may be taller and we would like to check that out. Please let Julie know if you happen to have a Laser Tape.
The Board met in Desert Meadows Park on October 16th for our first meeting since February. The Board canceled all social events for November through February. We have a committee working on a safe plan for reopening the Studio. We would like to have the doors leading from the Handbuilding room and the sculpture room completed before we attempt to reopen. Jay has prepared the spaces where the new doors will go, moving the existing shelving units to available spaces. Doug Davis and Jay cut one of the work tables in the Handbuilding room into a smaller size so the walkway would be larger.
The Board will decide on the amount of dues for the 2021 year when the decision to reopen has been made. We have three Board vacancies that will need to be filled before the end of the year. Marcia Campbell(current VP), Mary Clark, and Pam Bybee have agreed to run, so far. I will send out their bios in the next few weeks. I will also resend the proposed by-law changes. Hopefully, we can send out an e-ballot and get these two items taken care of.
If you have thoughts you want to share with our Board, you can reach them through the web-site.
