Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Central Minnesota Woodworkers have volunteered to build work benches (tables) so that our visual arts studios can begin of offer regular classes in fine wood working. Each work bench will be designed for 2 students. We will count number of classes offered per year, class enrollment, and document the quality of the finished products. Count NEW patrons who attend classes. Count woodworker students who enroll in subsequent wood turning or woodworking classes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of people listed above participated with 3 more workshops scheduled during this coming year. Patrons came from 2 new counties for our first woodworking program and enrollment exceeded the original plan. Woodworking is now programmed here.
