[Makerspace-keymembers] Moving Py-CU to the weekend

[Gergana Slavova]

Having a 4hr block open on Saturdays would be great!  I'm fully in support
of this plan, Elizabeth.

If we do any workshops, we'll work with Py-CU ahead of time to make sure we
have no conflicts.  We usually have a vague idea of how many people will be
coming to the workshops and how much space we'll need.

Let me know when the change will be coming into effect and I'll update the
calendar and website.
