🧹 What a week at Lacey MakerSpace!

Last week we held our annual member meetup and spring cleanup, and wow, did our members show up!

We were able to tackle cleaning and tasks that had been on the list for a while, and it would not have happened without every single person who rolled up their sleeves and got to work. The camaraderie in this space is something truly special, and moments like this remind us just how lucky we are to have the community we have.

After the cleanup we gathered for our member meeting where we talked about our upcoming fundraiser, reviewed policies, and held an open Q&A session. Great conversations, great energy all around.

To every member who showed up, thank you. You are what makes Lacey MakerSpace more than just a workspace. You make it a home.

❤️ If you love what we do here, give us a like, follow our page, and share with someone who should be part of this community!
