Hey Makerspacers,
This is Danielle from the IMC board who is on this list with the hopes of
connecting as an artist and organizer with Makerspace activities. I also
serve as the fundraising chair and am always looking for ways to support
IMC programs. I just met James (my neighbor) and met up with Jeff at AMC. I
hope to make a meeting soon - I have been traveling and have a 2 year old
so ...
A few comments in response to these notes from a few weeks ago.
First, thank you for voting to contribute back rent. The IMC provides
subsidized rent to all working groups (we reduced the rate on that space
when MS started) and free rent to the post office until 2015 as part of our
purchase agreement. That means finances are very tight. $600 makes a big
difference.
Second, I can provide view access to Paypal to one person at Makerspace if
you want to easily log in and get timely info on recent payments. I know
you are moving to Square but if this is helpful, let me know.
Third, the costume closet and underground lounge are reinventing
themselves. I think this is a great opportunity to make a groovy corner of
the IMC with seating spaces, browsing library, and making maker stations
that are accessible to the public all the times the IMC is open.
Monica responded to say she will be there Sat at 1 representing Makerspace.
Others welcome. Looking forward to envisioning this redesign with ya'll.
Danielle
