June 2: Open house 10AM-5PM. Need a few volunteers: James, John, Scott. Plan to give tool demos, introductions, tours, sign-ups. Snacks will be provided.
First newsletter went out today. Looks great. Thanks Sheila!
Scott suggests adding a sign-up link to the website, Facebook.
Is there a way to link to it from outside? Sheila couldn't find it, but will look for it.
If you have a project you were working on or have other things you would like to contribute, send it to thespace@sktechworks.ca and Sheila will add it to the next one.
Sheila will ask Al and Kurtis for stuff from RoboGames.

Reminder: food waste has to be taken out to the dumpster; do not leave food waste in the indoor garbage cans.
We had a fire inspection this past month. Everything clear. They requested we clear out the pathway upstairs to ensure a safe escape. The board will follow up to make sure this is cleaned up.
There was a power outage recently. Our emergency lighting worked well.
New tools:
We decided it wasn't worth buying a used table saw. Looking for a new one.
James has some tools to lend. Belt sander, palm sander, drum sander, table saw.
New printer: free to use for a few pages, but please pay if printing substantial amounts.
Went through purgatory box.
Inspected fire extinguishers and first aid kit.
Next meeting: June 12, 7:00PM, at 412 44th Street, Saskatoon, SK.
