That is not correct. Please stop repeating false information.
The wood shop is nearly caught up with new member requests. Last I heard, it was a couple months wait. It was never as long as you said.
Woodshop is $200 to join. Then $75 per year. Those funds are only used to pay for shop expenses (no parties or freebies). New members also must take a safety training class before allowed entry. Also requires members to donate time as a shop monitor (3 shifts/year), or help in some alternate ways. It's all run volunteers.
