Join us at 10:00am each month before our regular Chapter meetings for one of our mini-workshops. These mini-workshops last about 2 hours and cover a specific repair or problem solving topic. The format is relatively unstructured, allowing all attendees to participate and contribute. The topic for each month's workshop is published in that month's Chrono Times.
