Recreation seeks volunteer woodworkers

The recently remodeled woodshop in Clubhouse 1 is open and gaining in popularity. In hopes of extending its hours to accommodate more residents, the Recreation Department has been looking for a few good woodworkers to join its roster of volunteer supervisors. Three supervisors have now committed to working four Saturday mornings a month.

Woodworkers can now enjoy the shop from 8:30 a.m.-noon on the first, second, third and fourth Saturdays each month. The shop is closed in months with a fifth Saturday. The weekday hours are currently 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Recreation is actively recruiting experienced woodworkers who can volunteer a weekday, Saturday or Sunday afternoon or evening in order to keep the shop open longer.

Those interested in becoming volunteer supervisors at the woodshop should call Recreation Manager Kathy Thayer at 562431-6586, ext. 398, to set up an appointment. Typically, experienced woodworker hobbyists should be available for one or two four-hour shifts a week.
