[Makerspace-keymembers] MakerSpace workshops

[elizaBeth Simpson]

Hi Peter!

Long time no see. I saw your email because I'm part of Makerspace. I love
your workshop ideas! But I'm a sucker for an oscilloscope.

Also, I wanted to make sure you knew about two things: our anniversary
party (which will start in 45m at 7pm!)
and our Five Year Five Hundred, which is our invitation to for people to
help us reach our goal of $500 per month in sustaining funds. The opt in
amount starts at pi! ($3.14), and we're more than halfway there! I just
made my monthly commitment, and it feels great.

I hope you'll join me in either of these. You can see more details on both,
below.

Be well,
elizaBeth


Makerspace Urbana is celebrating five years of on December 15.That's five
years of fulfilling our mission to create a space where people of diverse
backgrounds learn, teach, tinker, collaborate, share, innovate, socialize,
and create! Our list of accomplishments is this year so large, we had to
put it at the bottom of the email to fit! (see below)

Do you like how that sounds? Celebrate with us at our anniversary
party this Monday:

Monday, December 15
7-9pm
IMC, Lower Level
202 S. Broadway, Urbana

Also, as part of our celebration, we are inviting YOU to be part of our
Five Year Five Hundred. This is a group of people who, collectively, commit
to contributing the $500 a month that will keep our space thriving. We are
excited to announce that we have already received commitments totaling
$250! We are halfway there- we just need YOU to bring us to the total!
Will join with others who care about our community and pledge $5, $10, $25,
or $50 a month for 2015?

The space can be a little tricky to find, but if you enter through the back
Bike Project door (near the radio tower on the south side of the building)
and take your first left, we're at the end of the hall. Here's a little
video to help: https:/youtube.com/watch?v=NtVYBwzWRjY
