tl;dr: Next Meetup 11/19 @ New City Brewery from 6-9 with bonus (unaffiliated) astronomy talk, looking for specific professional assistance

Hi All!

We had some great and inspiring conversations with some new friends at this past Talk & Tinker Tuesday and we’re always excited to welcome more people to our community. Our next meetup is at New City Brewery from 6-9 on Tuesday 11/19. This is a great time to come out, have a tasty beverage and talk to fellow makers. There is another event (that we’re not associated with) also happening at the brewery starting at 7, but rather than fighting for space, I see it as a bonus for us. Astonomy on Tap is a great series of entertaining and accessible talks on all things space. They happen every 3rd Tuesday, so we just happen to be overlapping this time. So come early for some makerspace chat, then get some facts about outer space.

As we’re working to get the final details worked out for our upcoming space, there are a few areas where we might benefit from picking the brain of someone with some professional experience. One area is business insurance, in particular, how best to describe our intent for the space so we end up in the right category and price range. Secondly, as we just recently received our 501c3 approval, we’d like to make sure we’re on the right track in how we’re thinking about donation receipts and such. So if you have direct professional experience in either of these areas and don’t mind sharing a little advice, we’d love to chat with you sometime.

Be safe and keep making things!
