[Makerspace-keymembers] [Imc-makerspace] Hardware Freedom Day is on, join us and celebrate on March 15th 2014!

[Jeffrey Putney]

Wow awesome! :-)

I was also just thinking if we got in an order for kits from adafruit maybe
by monday we could also have those available for people on that day. I
haven't been able to get any other commitments to the reach the $250
minimum yet but perhaps if we push harder it could work. We could maybe
tell people that if they want any adafruit kits they can just ask us and
we'll order them for them so they can save on shipping?
