Guest introductions

Ron builds theatre sets and abstract art, and is interested in metal work, and found us through Makerfaire via a friend
Mckenzie is visiting us from Dry Hootch, and wanted to know if members would volunteer skills to help them out. They need help with vehicles, building construction and other things
Jesse used to come here with the 3D printing group, and realized he can come here and play instead of building his own 3D printer
Nancy used to be a member, and needs some help with aluminum welding. She flies electric motor gliders

Jake does string art for music events and basic carpentry with LED strips. He wants to expand this.
