  The first Saturday of the month is our clean up of the space. We pick the first Saturday so that we can make the place clean for MakeTime for Kids which is held the next Saturday. We encourage members to drop by on Saturday to help with the clean up and meet other members. We have pizza at the end of the cleanup.

  Skyler will be having the first Silly Boat Regatta (SBR) Design meeting on May 18th at 12:00 pm.

  We require a group of people to come up with the design and theme of the two Boats, and the materials needed. We are going to need people with experience in Woodworking, metal work, artwork, electronics, and great imaginations for this first meeting. So pretty much anyone, and we really need the help and expertise.

  Please sign up in the forum under the post "Calling all Designers" - with your name and email so we know how many to expect. Snacks will be provided.  Here is a link to the post in the forum:
