[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: NBSE UIUC Service

Tue Sep 23 13:30:10 EDT 2014

I just got a call from Christine that the Boys and Girls club double booked
and asked it we could move the event back a week. I told her go ahead and
schedule it because I figured there wasn't to much of a choice and
hopefully we can still get some people to help. So here's the official
update and I'll send a message to the whole group.

Thanks,
