[Imc-makerspace] Hacker at Allen Hall this week

[Gergana Slavova]

I'll probably be there tonight, at least for a little bit.  I thought we
had some generic Makerspace flyers we used to hand-out to people but I
can't find them on my computer.  Does anyone have a copy?

I'm thinking of printing some and handing them out tonight.
