Hey there, Jeremy here, was at the meeting tonight and willing to do what I can to help out

Things I have to offer:
A couple LCD monitors
couple computers
8 or so soldering irons (Most of them are the rat shack cheap ones, though I can bring my good ones too)
digital calipers
dremels
mini scrollsaw
panavisa jrs
a dozen or so 'really bare bone arduinos'
plenty of wire
plenty of books - many vintage electronics, like "Sylvania ECG Semiconductors - Linear Modules and Integrated Circuits", "IC Timer Cookbook" etc.
money
boxes of components
If there's space, I can finally get my Epilog laser, woooo

My skills are -
engineering related (degrees in computer and electrical)
'tinker mentality' - I'm fairly mechanically inclined and can figure out most things
semi-pro photographer with gear
pretty good with promotions, and getting free schwag from companies, or scoring deals and such (Fundraising type stuff)
Because of my MS MVP status I have at least 10 licenses of every MS product, if need be
I have a few friends in radio - when we're up and running I might be able to persuade them to do a story to drum up business. Maybe. Who knows.

Hard to talk about my skills vs things I can donate. hehe

Thanks for posting, Jeremy!!! Glad you're with us on this journey and it was nice to talk with you at tonight's meeting.
