March 20 Program: Eric Scigliano - What's Up With Southeast Seattle?
Start: 7:30 am
End: 8:30 am

 In a recent article on Seattle's "CROSSCUT" news/commentary blog, Eric Scigliano takes a look at the richness and scarcity of businesses in Southeast Seattle:  Nail salons - plenty, Trader Joes - not yet.  Eric lives in the Hillman City neighborhood, and from that high vantage point he can see the fast-food franchises up near Franklin High, and the plethora of multi-ethnic convenience stores stretching through to Rainier Beach.  What prevents a Trader Joes or a True Value Hardware from locating here?

April 3 Program: Christin Boyd - Seattle Mini-Maker Fair
Start: 7:30 am
End: 8:32 am

 Since the success of "Make" magazine and a snowballing movement of "Makers" who have been establishing Make-Spaces across the country, many of us are wondering what it's all about?  Hobbyism?  "Popular Mechanics" magazine franchised to local empty storefronts?  Utopian tinker worship?
 
The answer is "Yes, and more!"
