[Makerspace-keymembers] Sewing day thoughts?

Fri Apr 17 11:30:15 EDT 2015

Yeah flush under the table would be awesome :-D (I would help)

But for now, Dena, if we move the outlets and clean the tables off do you
think the SCA group would come use the space? I can't be there monday but I
would be happy to help clean up this weekend if you think it would help
bring your friends to the space.

Thanks!
