[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: NBSE UIUC Service

[Jeffrey Putney]

I just heard back from Christine and they have set a date and time:  "The
date for the event is Thursday,* September 25, 2014 *at the Don Moyer Boys
and Girls. The event is from 4-5:30. There will be about 40 kids
participating." She was interesting in perhaps having us setup a soldering
station or other activity, so I mentioned some other possible activities
and asked for clarity on that.

Do we need more blinky badges if that seems like a good activity?

And are people available at that time?

Thanks!
Jeff
