 +==== MoMI ====
 +Noun; Makerspace of Milwaukee, Inc.  A non-stock incorporated entity operating in the State of Wisconsin since December 21, 2012.  When Milwaukee Makerspace changed its governance to utilize a Board of Directors, papers were filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions.  The paperwork included two choices for organization names: "Milwaukee Makerspace, Inc." and "Makerspace of Milwaukee, Inc."  The latter was assigned to us by the state because at the time of the application someone was still using the former.  And that someone was actually us.  Former President Royce P.'s name was attached to the first choice name so when Then-Current President Brant H. requested it on the new application, the state identified it as already claimed by someone else.  As a result, we were given our second name choice.  Rather than go through more red tape, the group simply left it as MoMI.  Milwaukee Makerspace, LLC. was originally registered on September 29, 2009 and allowed to dissolve on September 9, 2014 (we chose not to renew it in 2013).  Contact the Board of Directors for more information.
