The floor in the loft at 414 Stevens has always been rather questionable, so over the years we’ve been improving it bit by bit. Thanks to our Tuesday Night Feast fundraisers, the facilities committee has spent funds to improve the “Textiles” and “A/V” areas in the loft.

While Punxsutawney Phil was staring at his shadow, our Phil helped Tim, Kinsey, Jake, and Tyler (also Lowell) put down new sub-floor and Tardis colored paint for the last 25′ of the loft. This, of course, displaced a lot of stuff, so all of the loft will be mostly unusable for the next week or two. Thanks again to all that helped worked and helped make this possible.

ML256 Bitcoin

Makers Local 256 has added a new payment method for donations: Bitcoin! Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto-currency that has been gaining global recognition over the last few years, as the number of people, businesses, and merchants that accept the new digital money has grown rapidly. Makers Local uses services from the hot new Bitcoin start-up, Coinbase, to handle acceptance and processing of Bitcoin. If you would like to donate Bitcoin to the organization, click the “Donate Bitcoins” button on the left sidebar under the PayPal donations button.

New member storage shelves.

Thanks to the last clean up day, and the facilities improvement fund, Makers Local 256 has added 12~15 member storage slots.

If you’d like a space, it’s first come, first serve. Just write your name or handle in on the blue tape, and put a plastic tote in your space.

Member Storage will still be at a premium, so if you aren’t really using it, or if you can split a space with someone else, you’d be helping out your fellow member(s).
