[Imc-makerspace] March Membership Meeting [Mar. 29 Minutes]

[Dena Strong]

Hi! Re the banner idea, I'm willing to help with construction if there's a
design to work from - I think a banner withlight and sound capabilities
would be really cool. :-)

I apologize for having vanished for a while, I've been horribly sick for a
couple weeks now.
