[BLU/Officers] Clarification on future InstallFests

[Jerry Feldman]

We need to look at the space before we make any decisions. So, let's wait
until we visit the space in the next couple of weeks. Also, we need to
evaluate whether the Natick location is a good fit.

The issues I have with the Flea market is the location and availability of
parking. While Flea Market parking is free, it is quite a distance from the
desired classroom.

John and I are planning on visiting the Watertown Maker space on January
17th. It is on the way to MIT from where I pick up John. We plan to visit
the Maker Space at about 4PM, and eat at the Deluxe Diner afterwards.
