Why do you support The Inventor Center?

"I love seeing people grow in knowledge and confidence, learning from each other and giving advice or assistance when they have more expertise. "

Linore Huss, Director
"Great people, learning cool things, access to tools and equipment I couldn't afford on my own."

Andy Foster, Member Representative to the Board
"I support the Inventor Center because tools are expensive and require space to use and store them. The Inventor Center fills these needs for people who have the interest to build, 3-D print, weld, program or electrify but not the space or means to get started."

Lucy Fleming, President
"I support the center because it gave me a chance to learn/use equipment and to be a part of projects I never could have on my own."

John Phipps, Resource Specialist and Past Director
