Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
Let me pass this along to the Director and Assistant Director Lew<br>
Lefton and Irm Diorio.<br>
<br>
Decatur Makers's space does not much resemble a college classroom<br>
environment. That being said, we do host a lot of classes. Projector,<br>
sound, screen, tables, chairs, network, fridge, microwave, biolab,<br>
wood shop, Hammond Organ and the other essentials are available.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Let's see what Decatur Makers need to make this happen! My department has<br>
new space around March or April and it will be very ill suited for ALE<br>
meetings as it will be 3 uphill blocks from public parking and behind<br>
security doors.<br>
<br>
I'm still planning to discuss ALE hosting by the Emory Math/CS department<br>
which is across the street from the current building.<br>

Oops sorry, just read this e-mail: The odds are very high that Decatur<br>

Lemme know if I can help.<br>
