Good morning Rotarians.
Here are the notes from last week’s meeting.
Harry Wohlander gave the opening words.
Bill Guney gave the Hat story about his time in Morocco when things went awry when the basketball team he was working with acquired some stereo equipment in an unusual fashion.
The speaker was Roy Schlieben, director of the Maker Space (MAxT) facility in Peterborough NH. Roy gave us a history of MAxT, how it is funded, and the services it provides the community through membership and public events. The Vose Farm facility has a wide variety of equipment that is available to the public on a subscription basis. An event called Repair Café is an held monthly. Repair Café is open to the public and is an event where anyone, who has something that needs fixed can bring it in and have experienced personnel attempt to restore it to usefulness. MAxT moved to the large Vose Farm facility earlier this year after starting up in a small space in south Peterborough.
