- Sold at the harvest festival for several years, but have stopped for numerous reasons.
|
- I currently do not do any of the above but would be interested. As a new arrival to VT and starting this business, I'm open to the possibilities of networking!!
|
- If it fit into my scedual and was something I was comfortable and able to do.
|
- I would donate some special pieces of lumber to Woodnet for a fundraising effort. Right now I'm on two other boards and my job is more than full time, so I can't help with volunteering or serving on the board right now.
|
- As needed as time and other demands permits.
|
- I would sell products at the gallery if I have them available. I may consider volunteering if I have Time available, but am pretty busy between working full time and trying to make furniture.
|
- Limited free time but might be able to volunteer. Have a date to demo at the gallery - might do other dates.
Have used the camera - very nice!
|
- Occasional piece if I could make it well enough to belong in the gallery...it has good, high standards.
|
|
- I'm very active with Vermont Hand Crafters, and I participate in several Art and Fine Craft shows each year.
|
- Distance is a problem because we're 3 hours away from Stowe, in Vernon. But we could contribute some cutting boards for raffles or whatever.
|
- Don't know about photography equipment; might be benificial. Would ask, though, that my puzzles bel listed in catagory other than toys as most are more to look at rather than play with as many are very fragil.
|
|
- what is woodnets photography equipment?
|
- i would do demonstration(s) at the gallery of whatever they are interested in
|
- Help with SFH Festival or other shows
Work occasionally at the Gallery
Serve on board and assist with grant writing activities, etc.
|
- I WOULD HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED AND TO WHAT EXTENT SUCH AS TIME EXPECTED FIRST.
|
- not sure what you're looking for here - wether you want me to answer "Would you" or "Do you" above. In several cases "would you" means something very different than "do you".
|
- I plan to demonstrate spinning at a spinning wheel or on a drop spindle on the porch of Maple Wood Gallery sometimes this summer.
|
- Depends on availability...
|
|
- Give us a call for help with trucking or setting up for your events
|
- We'd be happy to donate some workshop gift certificates from time to time.
|
- The web sites are progressing!
|
- Seems good overall, but I think more info would not hurt about individual members and that they produce or skills they have.
|
- When I'm more actively selling lumber, I'll give you better feedback here.
|
- I think you guys are doing a great job and we are very grateful for your help!
|
- It is difficult for me to get to meetings as they are generally a long way from southern Vermont
|
- It would be nice to have more folks at our meetings. The new resource guide is anxiously awaited I expect it to be of great value)
|
- We need to get more of the membership involved in the many different phases of the organization.
|
- Seem to meet current needs.
|
- Given we're in NY, you are pretty limited in what you will let us be involved in.
|
- I don't recieve a newsletter. I am a recent member though so maybe im between periods.
|
- I find the Vermont Woodnet website to be hard to read - the background contrasts poorly with the type.
I also find it difficult to get help - I have asked for assistance with FSC certification, but have gotten no response.
I do not recall seeing anything about quarterly meetings coming out in email notices.
|
- I did visit the Maple Wood Gallery website at some point and it was difficult to find my craft kits. They were located under crafts or gifts or something. I understand the difficulty, but I hoped that they could be shown twice such as to also be put under toys, for example. I realize that they don't fall into an easy category.
|
- I think a great job is done by all.
|
|
- I think membership costs should rise so most people pay $100 an increase to $125 for business members.
|
|
- Does WN place small ads especially in VT papers (Buyers Digest, Vermont Shopper for examples) to draw attention to its web site?
|
- How about a guest speaker on FSC wood and marketing strategies?
|
- I just joined, so it is all new to me. I have always though vtwoodnet do a great job!
|
- More services than I need at this time, Perhaps I will grow into more involvement.
|
- My quibble with the new Maplewood Gallery website is that a website sales pitch catering to high-end customers needs high-end support at the brick and mortar level.It seems like the Gallery has taken a leap ahead of itself before becoming a solidly managed store .
I think the Gallery has terrific potential for all the participants( I donated $100.00 when times where hard last year )and hope it will become a viable local success.
|
- I get lots of refferals forwarded from Judy that I don't really need.
|
- Items for posting don't go up quickly enough and stay there too long
|
- I don't receive newsletters very often and am not really familiar with either website & have only been to one meeting so it is hard for me to evaluate these things
|
- as a maker of furniture, i am waiting for the stowe gallery to become a place where people come to buy furniture. i think it is important that the person 'selling' the furniture is versed in handmade furniture and can convey to the customer why they should spend $4000 on a cabinet.
|
- don,t get info quick or often enough to attend or meetings conflict
|
|
- Networking is best benefit of VT Woodnet
|
- Doing a GREAT job all around. The website is wonderful!
|
- The MapleWood Gallery wsebsite used to be better in that it offered more photos of the gallery as a whole and more photos of individual pieces in the Gallery.
|
- Woodnet might want to consider doing a monthly newsletter via e-mail... I would be happy to put a woodnet column for woodnet announcements in our monthly newsletter.
|
- I'll be a bit more satisfied now that you've got my correct email address. For the last year or more I got dropped off the list since someone keyed in my email wrong.
