Towels
Disabled members may wash towels for credits to maintain
good standing.

less, a member can earn 1 credit by washing towels one time. They, then, must monitor at least 3 more times to total 4 credits
for the year. If residing in SCG 3 months or less, a member can earn 2 credits per year washing towels. They, then,
need to monitor at least 2 times to total 4 credits for the year.
Social Committee
Serving on the social committee can earn up to 2 credits
per year. Member still must monitor at least 2 times for the remainder of the 4 credits necessary to maintain good standing.

Miscellaneous
Special circumstances may be discussed with the Monitor
Chairperson.
Keep in mind that members can bank up to 6 credits per
year to maintain good standing within the club.
Members are exempt from monitoring if they participate
in one of the following:
Board Member, Committee Chair,
Kiln Committee, or Class Instructor
A member on the towel list may possibly be asked
to wash towels an additional time, if necessary, without credit, for the good of the club.
BANKED CREDITS:
A member in good standing who earns
more than one monitor credit per quarter, the additional credit(s) will be banked for later use. A maximum of six banked credits will be permitted at any time and will be carried over until used.
POLICY:
In order to evenly distribute the membership
obligation throughout the year, members need to record one monitor credit per quarter in order to be considered a member in
good standing; this can be accomplished either by studio monitoring, earning alternative monitor credit(s) or deducting one
banked credit from the member’s account.This policy will be enforced in a fair
and consistent manner.
Members not fulfilling their obligations
on a quarterly basis will be considered not in good standing. Such members will
not be permitted to use the studio, attend classes or purchase supplies.
Exception
– a serious illness that precludes use of the studio for at least six months.
