• The last two years, Tony Wang (our former Pinewood Derby Chair) worked with you and XJC to host the wood cutting workshops over a couple of weekends in January. We have the same need for this year. Howard Huang, our new Pinewood Derby Chair is in copy.
• We would like to know if we can reserve the workshop space for the weekends of January 17/18 and 24/25, each day from 8a - 12p. This is how we have done it in the past. Our group is a little smaller this year (75 versus 113 last year), so we anticipate about 65-70 scouts total to make use of your space.
• As in past years, we can pay a per scout use fee as well as any extra payment for broken saw blades, etc... Adults will be on hand to monitor and control the safe use of the tools and to ensure the space is kept tidy.
