Howdy, HackerMoms. Since last week...

   - San Francisco Magazine came to interview us for at least a
   blurb-worthy piece.
   - Construction for soundproofing the childcare room will happen next
   week, so that we can hopefully work in relative peace and quiet. Feel free
   to add your thanks to the donation bra or button.
   - Some new HackerMoms on the Peninsula have discovered us and now want
   to start a HackerMoms space in their area! Along with requests from as far
   as Portland, Florida, New Jersey, Tokyo and Norway. Long live HackerMoms!
   We'll get some guideline materials up for y'all. (But if you're in town,
   check out our workshop on "50 Different Ways to Run a Hackerspace"
   happening next week.)
   - Don't forget our ongoing Monday morning Art Date and Wednesday night
   Math Club in our Events page <http://mothership.hackermoms.org/events/>.
   (Words I never thought I'd say: Math club kickoff last week was so cool. We
   were tearfully convinced that with the help of Khan Academy and peer
   tutoring, even we could learn math! Join us? We start from 1+1.)
   - And while the babes slept, we pulled up the nasty industrial carpet
   from the main room to reveal the pristine Pergo below.

   - And new workshops below.

POWER TO THE MOTHERS!

they thanked HackerMoms for existing, so you're welcome). Hackerspaces new,

*New: Thursday, June 28th, 4- 5:30: Mommy Ergonomics*
It's a secret to everyone but mothers that baby-holding and nursing tweaks
our bodies' spines, shoulders, hands and wrists, lower, mid and upper
backs. Liz Gillem Duncanson, Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer, Strength
Coach, and Medical Yoga Provider, says, "In addition to the normal
anatomical and physiological changes that happen during and after
pregnancy, the actual movements of parenthood can cause aches and pains.
The movement patterns of caregivers are unique and can cause serious
distress on the body if not done functionally." Liz will show us the best
ways to hold baby to prevent injury. Bring your real
infants/pre-crawlers/babes-in-arms to participate, plus strollers and
carriers for specific instruction with your personal gear and body. Tell
your long-suffering mom friends.
Free for HackerMoms. $15 non-members. RSVP ASAP for childcare for older
kids.
