[Noisebridge-discuss] Looking for hackspace and partners for education project

[Maer Ben-Yisrael]

Hello Mitch,

Thank you for the reply. I'm glad that there's some interest in your
community. Perhaps one or the both of us could meet you (and anyone else
that's interested in helping) at the space next week to check it out and
have a chat?

(I type this knowing I may have sick children next week that preclude me
from leaving home, but hopefully not)

Thanks for getting back to us!

Best,

-Maer...
