<div><br></div><div>I've attended four of five of the Ruby classes on Tuesday evenings, and it's always a slight pain to wonder if I'll get in in time for the start of the class. �I don't really know the protocol, so I've been leaving $10 in the box as a small donation. �If the space were more safe/kid-friendly, I'd be trying to sign up as a member.</div>
