<div class="moz-forward-container">Hi All <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">I attended this first meeting
last Thursday, here is a summary of it. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The drivers on this are 2
Anthropology Graduate students, looking to to get some sort of
community workshop-ing going in Davis. This ties into projects
they are working on and have applied/rec'd funds for. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The students are: <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">Justin - El Warcha</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">Tory - Sumud<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">There were some undergrads
attending who were their students, plus a couple of other graduate
student "friends" of like mind, a cousin of the guy who started El
Warcha who happens to be located in Davis now, and Dylan, one of
the 3rd Space dudes. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">These people seem to be pretty
like minded types looking for a larger community to make things,
upcycle, teach, etc. I think if we still had a space, they would
have been a welcome addition. El Warcha, kind of seems to be
similar to Davis Makerspace, a community driven workshop where
people can engage in projects. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">They seem very cool, and it seems
like they, and the 3rd space guy are keen on finding and sharing a
community space. They 2 graduate students will be receiving grant
money to support their efforts, but not a huge amount. Anyway, I
think we'd all get along, and perhaps we can follow up with them
about possibly doing stuff out of the library too, if we are. They
seem to have energy to do stuff, see this tool bicycle trailer, so
if more of us want to come to their meetings, or what have you I
think we'd all be welcome and get along. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">It's likely worthwhile to talk
formally with them and Dylan about joining forces to look for a
space if you all want. He says there is still a 3rd space BOD and
they are still looking for a space. They also are still getting
community interest about it, and I think that is what pulled him
to this meeting. He did say that the spot we were trying to look
at, past the Ken's Bike and SKi is contaminated with dry cleaning
chemical and that is why it is not leased.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">Apparently the Bicycle Hall of
Fame could be coming lease able, has to go to a community good
style function, and we might want to pursue that with them. So
looks like they are starting up and will meet again Thurs if
anyone wants to attend.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div>Welcome to the mailing list for EL Warcha (the workshop)
Davis, AKA five fingers of something-something... sorry i
forget what we decided to call it. And thank you again for
coming on Thursday to the meeting. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is a summary of the meeting. Maybe Tory can add
something from her notes???</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-We finished up the meeting with a plan to have an open
collaborative meetings/workshops to start planning projects.
For now this will be on Thursday evenings (including next
Thursday) at around 7:30pm. Again at Kobe Mini-Mart. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- We decided to have a general planning meeting once a
month. We will decide on a date for December later.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- I invited everyone to come to Tunisia this summer. For
Davis Students there are Grants available. I received the PASS
award last year for the project in Davis. They are fairly easy
to get and i can help you with the writing . These are the
PATA and PASS through the blum center: <a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://globallearning.ucdavis.edu/pathways/experience/blum</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-Tory anticipates receiving money to start doing workshops
in local schools. I am also anticipating receiving funding to
do workshops with homeless in Davis. It would be nice to think
together about what these workshops could look like. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Dylan and I talked about building a mobile "shop" for a
bike trailer with power tools on a battery system. I imagine
it could be a very useful tool to have. I am attaching a
couple designs we came up with for another bike trailer
project El Warcha did last year. Maybe it can be an
inspiration if anyone is interested in starting on a design. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-We are thinking about potential locations to house our
various projects (Third Space, Makers Space, Sumud, El Warcha,
Bike coop, etc). The Bicycle Hall of Fame building might
become available soon, as well as some other sites around
Davis. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any case, until next week,</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Justin</div>
