<div>I really appreciate that file you sent over with the list of sponsors. I contacted Dixon Graphics on a whim and they just gave some generous sponsorship that is seriously helping this festival happen!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also. Thank you to all of you guys at Makerspace for being a part of this. Any word yet on who can present? It's just a short presentation. About 3 mins, no more than 5. Let me know if anybody has any questions!!!</div>

We can't wait to highlight the great work you do during the fest as part of the Downtown Open House! As I recall, we had also discussed a presentation from one of your members - is that still on? We'd love to feature the history and stories of Makerspace, especially in terms of lessons learned and how collaboration with the community has led to awesome things!</div>
<div style="font-size:13px;font-family:Tahoma"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:Tahoma">AGORA Fest will be held on May 3, 2014. We are celebrating collaboration in our community - all things collective, cooperative, and collaborative! Whether business, community group, or musical performance, we look to highlight community as something that brings value, and as an important piece of sustainability, while encouraging others to start their own collaborative ventures!</div>

We'll also be hosting a raffle for event attendees who have visited</span><span style="font-size:10pt"> </span><u style="font-size:10pt">all</u><span style="font-size:10pt"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt">the locations featured on the map (so if you have anything to contribute, we'd love to include it in the raffle!). We'll be providing special punchers to participants so we can see who has visited everyone on the map. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt"><br></span></div><div>If you could send me your logo sometime this week (earlier the better!) I will get that on our materials. I'll also swing by with the posters and passes once printed. Thanks again for your involvement! </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also - if you happen to know of anyone who would be able to contribute some sponsorship, please let me know! We haven't had much luck and our budget is small so every little bit helps ensure we can cover equipment rental, food/drink, and printing.</div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt">Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to seeing you later this week.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt"><br>
