I have stated that I would not participate in the Outreach program but I have been thinking about it a lot lately.
I don’t believe I would be interested in Outreach as it has been in the past. 15 minutes in a carnival atmosphere may spark interest but there is no invitation, opportunity, or possibility for more thorough instruction.
However, if there were a chance of longer training sessions, bigger projects, ongoing training in a more deeply meaningful way then I, and I believe some others, could make a commitment to be involved in a regularly scheduled long term program.
This could be done in various locations without a permanent location. It may require an additional trailer or even a box truck to hold additional tools and materials. 4-6 easily movable work benches and sets of tools for the students to use. It could start as turning only and expand over time.
If I’m in left field or too far off base let me know and I’ll look at other alternatives.
