The Cat Connection is a local nonprofit organization that helps feral (homeless) cats by providing shelters, as well as spaying and neutering; they were recently profiled in the Boston Globe. We will be helping by building and donating a cat shelter based on their blueprints. This will involve woodworking, so dress for the shop: clothes you don't mind getting sawdust all over, closed-toed shoes, pull back long hair, etc.

Silk screening is a process for transferring painted images onto various mediums; we will be teaching how to silkscreen t-shirts by making several MIT-oriented designs to be sold for charity. Anyone who comes will have a chance to try it out, see how the process works, and have the first crack at some brand new shirts. We will make some "I Believe" (magnetic monopole) shirts, and possibly Visit Hell and MIT Dragon designs depending on turnout.
