- educational mission
- Nate: offering more classes is a prime way to get more new face through the door, potentially grow our membership, and -- hopefully through sheer numbers of new members -- find at least a few who would like to help out more with all the other volunteer things we need to get done. Running more classes furthers the major part of our mission as a nonprofit.

- Post short links for how to host a class/request a class around the physical space. Continue putting them in the newsletter. Flyers (Joe).
