Cool Air and Hot Plasma!
I don’t know about you, but I am sure glad we installed the two mini-split air conditioners in the
shop. July was a scorcher. The new A/C units kept the shop habitable the entire month.
The other big change was the three new 3D printers in the lab. All three have been working well
and getting plenty of use. They are so easy to use compared to what we had before.

Entering Our Eighth Year!
The 7th anniversary celebration we had last month was a huge success. Apparently, it was in
the Impact newspaper as a thing to go to on the weekend. There must have been close to 100
people in the Lab and Shop at one time. No grumbling was heard, everyone had a good time.
As a result, our new member waiting list jumped up to about 30 people. We must be doing
something right.
