Yes, Marty, a good idea, one that I did a few years ago. A local
hobby shop donated a nice pile of supples for a Cub class. Of
course, I promised to send any new follow-up buyer/builders and
parents to the hobby store, so the shop's enlightened self-interst
was probably helping our cause.
But "corporate donations" tend to be one time deals, requiring extra
leg work, animated enthusiasm, diplomacy--things I'm in shorter
supply of. Instead, I'm trying to get a self-sustaining system going
where one class fincances supplies for the next, for example, this
class only is $3 per student. If I can keep the expense low enough,
that's the less pitching and 'splainin I have to do.
But I do need a better glue system. Just decided that a big bottle
of acetate glue will not work well, having to transfer to individual
applicators, which increases acetone odor level, unless I do that
part as homework. Back to carpenter's glue puddles, I guess.
