Lincoln Lark Business Group Meeting (Thursday, Sep 12th - Mike )

(Local Business leaders listen to Mayor Reinert’s presentation )
    Duluth MakerSpace hosted the Lincoln Park Business Group this morning for their monthly meeting. For this meeting the group was honored to have a presentation by Mayor Roger Reinert.
   
    Thank you to everyone who helped make the space look good and give us a chance to show off a little bit. Several of these people had not been inside DMS in years, and commented on how good the shops were looking.
Comments
Cameron Kruger: Thank you so much for hosting us, it was wonderful to show off the space to our members!

ROOF FUNDRAISING COMPLETE! (Wednesday, Aug 21st - Mike )

    Our fundraising for the new roof is complete. We set a goal of $82,550.00 and when we were within $3200.00 of our goal a member secured a pledge from a local business owner to cover that amount. In the meantime checks continued to arrive at DMS and we ended up raising $83,380.00. The surplus will go to support our mission either by seeding our next capital improvement or tool upgrade.


   
    Thanks to everyone who supports us through their generous donations, time, and/or dues. We would not survive without you.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is a MakerSpace?
A: A Cooperative Workshop, run like a fitness gym, where a monthly membership pays for shared access to tech tools, electronics, woodshop, metalshop, techshop, crafts, classrooms, fabrics, etc! Similar places have been sprouting up across the country. They are a real community asset driving innovation, education and cooperation. Our biggest asset is the other members.
Q: Who is running this?
A: A loose knit group of about 30 very enthusiastic member-volunteers who aspire to endlessly improve and creatively use our 11,000sqft building. Over half of the equipment is on loan or donated from members! The remainder is currently privately funded to keep us well stocked.
Q: How long have you been running?
A: We bought the building end of 2014, and volunteers have been tirelessly working on improving the space since then. We had our grand opening September 17th, 2016.
Q: Who is the place for?
A: All ages (18+ for non-class-based solo access), Women and Men, Anyone who is curious, who wants to learn new things from enthusiastic people. Anyone who is artistic or otherwise creatively inclined. Anyone who likes to create things but may not have room at home for all the various tools needed. Anyone wanting to take or teach classes on a wide range of subject matters.
Q: Do you have tool X or can you support hobby X at the shop?
A: If we do not already have the tools we will look into finding a way to integrate it into our offerings. We encourage you to help us gear up and teach the equipment! Our equipment list is helpful.
