The outgoing board met with the members of the 2012 board: Nancy Dubbs,
Jamie Haymes, Laurie Mankin, Sandy Dolan and Cindy Hernandez to help
with a smooth transition for the new board. Paperwork and notebooks
were passed from the current board to the new board.
Vickie gave an update on the Kiln room and the kiln that
was fried. Cliff did take a look at the kiln and it is a complete
loss, it can not be repaired. The board and membership has options:
Cliff will remove the ruined kiln for $150 and if it's decided that it
will be replaced, then the $150 will be credited to the replacement
kiln.
Jamie volunteered to be the new Kiln Room Guru replacing Vickie for the
upcoming year (we really want to thank Vickie for her hard work with
getting the kiln room in proper shape and loaders trained). There will
be a simplified loading checklist developed to help the loaders with
their task and some loader retraining will be necessary. Those who
need additional training will be contacted.
Nan adjourned the meeting at 2:30.
The 2011 Executive Board wants to thank all the membership for their
continued involvement with the clay studio and all of the time that our
members spend to help make the studio run smoothly...without all of the
volunteer time spent by so many members we just couldn't operate the
hours that we do and fire as much as we do...so thank you again. We
wish for all of our membership to have a happy and safe holiday
season and hope to see everyone at the studio.
