[Makerspace-keymembers] Boneyard Arts Festival venue

Fri Mar 25 18:21:01 EDT 2016

I know you've probably sent this out already but it looks good to me!  I
like the change from "Open Hours" to "Reception" - that's a bit less
intimidating (you don't have to bring a project, you can just stop by).

Thanks, Mike!
