Moving Out. Today, we met at the Craft Shop at the Club for Boys at 10 am to move the last thirty some boxes of in-work toys to the new location for our Toymaking Workshops. We are calling the new location "The Shop on Wood Avenue" or the WOOD SHOP. It is located in the basement of the Annex to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church located at 910 Wood Ave in Rapid City, SD.
History. We began meeting at the Craft Shop at the CFB on 10-26-2013. We have had a good working relationship with the people there and over the years, Mark and Carri have bent over backwards to make the experience a real pleasure. We enjoyed their super facility and were able to help them out with several projects around their facility as well.
Our Mission. As the RCWA has grown over the years, our mission remains the same, but our needs have changed. So, now that we are moving forward with a new work location, we are excited about the potential that the new facility will provide.
New Location. The new location affords us a place to store our finished toys which we will be distributing to kids at Christmas time. We also have room to store our in-process toys that we work on at our bi- weekly toy workshops. We will be able to store our tools, supplies, and toy making equipment in convenient locations. This will eliminate some of the set up time needed to begin toy making efforts each time at our workshops.
