First year anniversary Open House and New Year's celebration!February 10th, 2013
It's hard to believe, but we've been open for a whole year! It would be really great to celebrate with our community, so we're inviting y'all to come on over! We'll have delicious food (making and eating!) and there will be organizers, volunteers, and teachers around to tell you about the cool stuff at the space. And, really, it's everyone's space, so you should feel free to offer to teach something, hold a sewing circle or hack night, or really anything that's awesome, cool, and empowering for our communities!
