Hi, Nicole,<br>
<br>
Wednesday evenings at 7:00PM are when the Makerspace people usually
meet.<br>
It's not a good night for me, though. Friday would be better for me
this week, or Wednesday of next week.<br>
<br>
As for the Makerspace party venue, I think that upstairs at the IMC
feels more open for a public gathering.<br>
What would be really cool is if we could identify a potential
Technology/Design-savvy sponsor who has a really bitchen location in
town, who could host the party. Like one of the sponsors of
Pecha-Kucha. <a href="http://thecudo.org/pecha-kucha" target="_blank"><a href="http://thecudo.org/pecha-kucha">http://thecudo.org/pecha-kucha</a></a><br>

<br>
I think it's very cool that OJC Technologies did the walkabout iPhone
app for Boneyard Arts Festival. <a href="http://www.ojctech.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.ojctech.com">http://www.ojctech.com</a></a> We should
have somebody like them on our side. Do they do product design?<br>
<br>
I have been proposing giving a presentation on the Makerspace for
Pecha-Kucha night -- the next one is at the end of July.<br>
I would be happy to be one of the Fundraising Party Spielers. I have
been thinking in terms of video-augmented presentation, so it would be
nice if the party venue could support that.<br>
<br>
I look forward to planning the Makerspace Fundraising Party!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Hello makers of the MakerSpace,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, I want to thank you for starting up this new and
exciting project. I think the new energy, excitement and innovation
you bring to the space is why the IMC exists! I definitely want to see
your project flourish. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would be really happy to support you all in hosting this type
of event. I can send out invitations, plan the details, etc., but this
is a very straightforward fundraiser. When I proposed this idea to
Brian, I had also asked that some of the support go towards his
position at the IMC, but that is something that we can talk about in
person. So, speaking of meeting in person, what is a good time for us
all to put our heads together and plan this Makerspace celebration?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to working with you, </div>
<div><br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Recently Nicole Pion, another AmeriCorps worker at the IMC, brought up<br>
the idea of throwing a fundraising party for the Makerspace. Books to<br>
Prisoners has done this kind of thing in the past and raised a<br>
significant chunk of change.<br>
<br>
We'd invite local people who are interested in being members and/or<br>
local technologists who would be interested in funding a project like<br>
the Makerspace. They'd be invited to bring their checkbook :)<br>
<br>
The general format is a dinner of some kind, made by us or others.<br>
Chuck and Ivan have volunteered to make pizzas and soups. We can put<br>
on the dinner wherever want - someone's house, the IMC, the Makerspace<br>
room, etc.<br>
<br>
After a few of us could give a really short spiel about the<br>
Makerspace, what it means to us, what we've done, where we are and<br>
where we want to go.<br>
<br>
At the end of the dinner we politely ask for donations.<br>
<br>
At the open hours tonight, it seems like there's a lot of interest in<br>
putting this kind of event on.<br>
<br>
Nicole, thanks for the suggestion and being willing to help. What are<br>
the next steps?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Brian<br>
