Come for the Craft, Stay for the Company

Without a Monitor on duty, the Sawdust Stops!

Our shop stays open entirely thanks to member volunteers who step up as Monitors to oversee safe and smooth operations.

No monitor means the shop has to close.

🛡️ Active Monitor Requirements

  • Monthly Shift: Perform at least one 4-hour shift each month while in Green Valley.
  • Certification: Re-certify annually via the Online Monitor Quiz.
  • Locker Perk: Active status required for annual wall locker rentals.

Monitor Rules and Responsibilities

1

Identify non-members who attempt to use facilities.

2

Assign a non-monitor member to greet visitors.

3

The monitor rules are in place all year. There are NO summer or winter monitor rules.

4

Monitor will observe workshop activities from monitor station and will walk around the shop observing member activities.

5

The on-duty monitor may not work on personal projects, as this would distract them from the primary responsibility.

6

Ensure that members are operating machinery in a safe manner. If necessary, find a member with expertise to demonstrate proper technique.

7

The on-duty monitor has the authority to have any member removed from the shop if that member fails to comply with shop rules or whose conduct is disruptive or combative.

8

If asked by member or a GVR community member to assist in a procedure, the monitor will identify another member to help. This will ensure that the monitor is not pulled from the primary duties. Monitors are NOT to assist with members projects.
