  - Emily+Julie+Bill went to Woodland library Makerspace to get info and direction.
  - Ran a repair cafe last month, seemed to generate some interest for a next one.

- Rob: Any outreach or funding needs?
- The laser cutter to be bought is the biggest item to be funded.
  - At the moment just have $6,000 vs $18,000 options; large gap to bridge to get from lower cost to higher cost one; not sure exactly how much funds come from library.
- Rob: and people?
- Emily: Yes, certainly nice to try to get more people, now that things are picking up and the library is needing some more input.
