- Members will clean up after themselves, this means; wiping work areas and the sink, carefully putting materials away, and returning any tools to the front desk.
- Begin cleaning up BEFORE the Craft Center closes (start clean up by 15 minutes to closing to assure clean- up will be fully finished).
