Each month we have three dates and times open for anyone who wants to become an AS220 Printshop Monitor. You can come and learn about shop maintenance and where we take the trash at the end of the day. There is no commitment needed, you can come and see what the position entails, if it doesn't match what you're looking for, that's just fine.

Sunday 8th at 9:00am - 1:00pm Derek Schusterbauer
