[nmglug] make santa fe opening at Meow Wolf [Was: meeting tonight; ]

[Max Bond]

Also, the Rapid Prototyping class had (I presume on accident) been marked
free last week, so I assumed it was covered under your $10 orientation
(which was why I made the recommendation about it), but now I see it is
$40, which makes more sense.

Promise I'll stop hitting the list now. :)
