Hi Everyone,
Apologies for the late notice, but we've decided to close Giraffe Labs.
This is an abrupt change for Saturday House, but I hope it will end up
working out well. The windowless space isn't very appealing to hang
out in anyway - especially with summer coming up.
So, I guess I'm adding another topic to the agenda for the gathering
on the 25th. ;)
I'm also going to step back, and won't be leading a search for a new
space. Hopefully someone else (you?) will look around a bit.
Or maybe we move back to meeting in parks and living rooms for a while? :)
Take care,
-Brian
Here is what I sent to the Giraffe Labs folks:
====================================
Hi everyone!
I'm sorry to announce that Giraffe Labs is closing down at the end of
the month.
It's been a fantastic year, and I'd like to thank each and every one
of you for supporting the Labs. We couldn't have done it without you.
One of our goals when we started was to meet great people. We have!
I'm honored to have met all of you.
The decision to close down now was based on a few factors:
- Anders moved
- dropping membership
- absentee management (that's me!)
- the lease is up at the end of the month
- no windows
We're going to host a big party on the 27th, from 5-9pm (ish), please
come and celebrate! We will have beer. Rather a lot of it, from what I
understand. ;)
A couple of housekeeping items:
- If you donated items, they're yours! Contact me to coordinate their
return. Anything still in the space by the party will be given away to
attendees, or to Saturday House.
- If you still have keys, please mail them to me, or let's pick a time
to meet and hand off.
Thanks again for everything!
Take care,
-Brian
