WHAT A MONTH! Throughout August, we hosted 7 workshops, along with many individual and group appointments, welcoming 90+ people from Schuyler, Columbus, David City, Bellwood, Morse Bluff, Clarkson, Howells, Norfolk, Snyder and Linwood and even a visitor from California! Across three languages, people came through our doors to learn something new, meet other community members, share ideas, create, and make some pretty special memories along the way.
But what makes us most proud isn’t just the numbers… it’s what happened between them. ❤️
People who may not have known each other sat side by side and learned together. Community members shared their talents with others. Someone tried something for the very first time. Someone discovered a skill they may continue practicing or perhaps even turn into an opportunity someday.
That is exactly what the SCHUYLER MAKERSPACE is meant to be.
A place where people can learn, create, connect and collaborate. A community hub where residents can access tools, equipment and training; where an idea can become a project, a skill can become a business, and a simple workshop can create relationships that strengthen our community.
Thanks to our instructors who shared their knowledge, every person who walked through our doors, and everyone who has supported and believed in this Center for Rural Affairs project.
August gave us a glimpse of what is possible when we create a space where people, skills and ideas can come together.
And we’re only getting started.
