Hello again Oneatatime, your comments on finding time and being able to get folks together is certainly one that many of us face. In our particular case we are a community college and as such, we have a broad audience and student make-up. The majority of our students are juggling school, family, prior/current financial responsibilities, and many other commitments that require their attention. They do manage to find a balance and are able to devote time and efforts to contributing and being a part of the welding club/AWS student chapter. You mentioned a welding library for your students, in our case we are able to request library titles and other resources that the library handles and have them available for students(this is a part of the vocational departments allotment of reference and library materials). They are housed within the library so that everyone on campus has access, yet they are very specific to our students and their needs. We also have a say in how monies are spent within the student body, they provide access to monies that are available to clubs, ie. the welding club, and that is another avenue where the welding club can be active and go after funds to provide many different areas of support for our welding program. We believe that visibility and involvement are very important to program health, so anything and everything that can be done to promote that on our campus is a part of our program goal. Sounds like you're getting ready to roll, good luck and best regards, Allan
