tl;dr: Eastworks 044 is ours!, next meetup 12/3 @ New City Brewery, Stars and Skulls Craft Fair 12/15,

Hi All!

Big news! We’ve signed the lease and officially have suite 044 on the ground floor of Eastworks! It’s a great space for us to start out in, and the building has a great community that has already been very welcoming to us. We’re working out our initial layout and have a few bits of city paperwork to finish up, but we’re already looking forward to everything we’ll be able to do with the space. Keep an eye out here for updates on the space, upcoming events, ways to help out, and early membership deals.

Our next meetup is Tuesday 12/3 at New City Brewery from 6-9 pm, where I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about, and we might even take a walk down and take a look at the space towards the end of the night. Apologies to anyone that might have tried to find us at New City last time. Due to the band and unexpectedly large crowd, we ended up relocating to La Veracruzana, which turns out is a great alternate location for social meetups in the future. As of right now, it doesn’t look like there are any performances or other events happening at New City this time around so we should have plenty of room there, but if anything changes, keep an eye on the #makefixhack-meetups channel on the Discord for updates.

As noted last time, we’ll be setting up an info table at the Stars and Skulls Crafty Craft Fair on Sunday 12/15 from 12-4 (11-5 including setup & take down) at the Northampton Center for the Arts. We still have space for a couple more people who would be interested in helping out at the table to talk up MakeFixHack and our new space. As usual, let me know at this email, on discord, or at one of our meetups, and we’ll plan an exciting table to show off what we’re doing.

Be safe and keep making things!
