  The last Saturday of the month is our clean up of the space. We pick the last Saturday so that we can make the place clean for MakeTime for Kids which is held the next Saturday. We encourage members to drop by on Saturday to help with the clean up and meet other members. We have pizza at the end of the cleanup.
