<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">Hello. I would like to introduce
myself. I am Ed DeWitt, and I am involved with an organization in Fort Wayne,
Indiana known as TekVenture (<a href="http://tekventure.org/" target="_blank">http://tekventure.org/</a></font><font face="Arial"><font>). TekVenture is a public art & technology lab being
built in the near downtown area.<u></u><u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Arial"></font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">TekVenture hosts the annual “Chain
Reaction Challenge” (<a href="http://tekventure.org/CRC/" target="_blank">http://tekventure.org/CRC/</a></font><font face="Arial">) and the “Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire” (<a href="http://makerfairefortwayne.com/" target="_blank">http://makerfairefortwayne.com/</a></font><font face="Arial">). Another element of the organization is the hackerspace
known as the “TekVenture Maker Station” (<a href="http://tekventure.org/maker-station/" target="_blank">http://tekventure.org/maker-station/</a></font><font face="Arial"><font>). <u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Arial"></font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">As part of this year’s FWR Maker
Faire (see attached flyer), we are organizing an mini electric vehicle
competition between hackerspaces. The rules and regulations are attached for
your examination. Please note that <b><u>this competition is NOT affiliated with
the Power Racing Series (PPPRS) and there are no national points awarded to any
of the competitors</u></b>. So if you think you would enjoy a little friendly
competition with other hackerspaces from around the region, mark October 6 and 7
in your calendars, and come spend the time at our event. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">Lastly, I want to let you know that
our Call for Makers is now open too <span>(<a href="http://makerfairefortwayne.com/2012/05/22/2012-fwr-maker-faire-now-open/" target="_blank">http://makerfairefortwayne.com/2012/05/22/2012-fwr-maker-faire-now-open/</a>).</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><font><span>Feel free to pass on this information to other people
and hackerspaces which may be interested. </span>Please direct all
questions to me, as I will be organizing hackerspace attendance at the Maker
Faire.<u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Arial"></font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><font>Thanks, and I hope to hear from
you soon,</font></font></p>
