[Makerspace-keymembers] Mitch Altman workshop

[Jeffrey Putney]

And now for a twist!(sorry) So we were talking about holding an special
event as part of our RACES fundraiser, and it occurred to me that this
workshop with Mitch might be our best opportunity thanks to his name
recognition. So I asked him if we could make the event a fundraiser as well
and he seemed really happy about the idea and said go for it! We would
still ask $35 for the kits but then invite people to donate and/or
join our fundraising
campaign <https://www.crowdrise.com/makerspaceconsent>. Would that be cool
with everyone?
