  • Welcome to October, everyone! September was quieter than August and we are now changing gears from summer into fall and many of our members have family who are returning to academia in one form or another. It's a season full of promise about what can be. To our teachers, I wish you and your students a fantastic year of discovery. To all my members here at Quelab, I hope this time inspires you to continue on your journey of learning and discovery. Just please, I beg of you, don't blow the place up! Or, if you do, put it back as you found it when you're done.
  • This month brings us some new members. I'd like to personally welcome: Margaret, Bill, Joseph, Jennifer, Jeremy, Nicholas, Sean, Anita, David M., Maureen, Sergio, Karen, Brandon,Jessica, Steve, and David F.M.. It's exciting that you've found our wonderful community!
  • Earlier this month we at Quelab were quite honored to by the Albuquerque Community Foundation (http://www.albuquerquefoundation.org/) to be included as a stop in their “Trolley Tour”. The Foundation uses these “Trolly Tours” to gather donors and community leaders together to visit nonprofits in Albuquerque giving these folks an opportunity to know about different organizations in Albuquerque, as well as to allow these organizations a platform to share their background. My heartfelt thanks to Heath, Darren and Gonner for being at Quelab for this event. These guys represented you with enthusiasm and professionalism. Darren even put together packets for the attendees to take home that had literature on some of our programs and how to get in touch with us. I believe we are going to find a way to expand on this idea.
  • I'd like to remind everyone that next Wed is the Board meeting. It is open to the membership to watch. Even if you don't go send these guys some good thoughts. They are working hard to keep Quelab moving forward.
  • Also, Monday is our Space Cadets meeting at 7pm at Quelab. We are working on building this group up again to plan usage of the facility. Quelab has grown and sometimes it's good to have lots of help to figure out how to accommodate everyone
