3 things
+ Ditto on all the magnets comments. I'd especially love to hear anyone that
has experience building homemade alternators/generators for use with small wind
turbines or other projects.
+ As for presentations, are we going to stick with the two presentation model,
one big & one small? Or just stick with one for now? I will offer to present
my "homebrew photography ball head" that I offered for a July meeting but it's
not complicated enough to command main billing :-)
+ Another location suggestion. The last meeting place in Tempe was really nice
and I think it was free. Becky set it up so not sure about that.
North Tempe Community Center
1555 N. Bridalwreath St. (near Scottsdale Road just north of 202)

They don't have projectors to loan though, unless you're still into
transparencies, and as a community center it's not as "refreshing" as say a pub
or restaurant. On a more general note, the location options should probably be
collected and sent out in one poll so that we don't overlook any.

Hey guys,
This is Lisa from Conspire(the little place downtown that you have met at
before). You are welcome to meet at Conspire. I would be glad to come and join,
as I am always up for learning something new. The back room has new tables and
seats 8 comfortably. Also, now that the weather is nice again in the evenings
out side can seat as many as you please and can have projections on the wall.
Just let me know if you ever need a place.
Also, does anyone ever want to do a recycled paper making workshop? I
have all the resources to host this kind of a workshop/presention. Let me know.

Mmm.. Wish there could be a more central location, like there was
earlier this year (don't remember the name, but it was somewhere
downtown). I can only go so far by bicycle (as I am slow and the
bike's batteries are old), and still be able to get back in time and
shape to work the next day (assuming I have to, which is likely). I
just don't know anywhere to suggest that I could help with setting up
reservations/etc. Either that or a rideshare of some kind.

That's part of why I'd like to "join" the group for meetings. :-) If
all I wanted was information, I could just browse the web at my
convenience and find out most of what I'm interested in--it's the
social part of it that I would like to do more of. ;-)
