[Makerspace-keymembers] Sewing day thoughts?

Mon Apr 20 12:14:00 EDT 2015

The sewing night is happening tonight.  I don't think any cleaning up
happened on Saturday but I can come in around 5:30pm and help clear the
tables.  I won't be able to stay for the sewing night itself.

Anyone else can come and help for 20min?
