Old Business: Lee mentioned that members interested in becoming a Monitor should talk to Terry Griffith. New members should consider this to become familiar with club functions.

Lee reminded members that 24 club visits are required to retain a locker for 2025. Your club visit count is displayed on the monitor when you swipe in at the club.

Members must get the key from the Monitor to unlock the Ellis Band Saw and Eagle Tube Bender. This will allow the Monitor to confirm that members are certified to operate the equipment.
