got the dates penned, because the next step is for us to co-create a custom
agenda for each community that features local makers. Workshops will be <b>free</b>,
and SCECHs will be available at a small cost. So save the date and stay tuned!</span><span style="font-family:Arial"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
