On June 13th we celebrated the Grand Opening of a Matt's Maker Space at the Oakdale location.
In true collaboration with Matt’s Maker Space we are fulfilling our vision to nurture this community by fostering an environment where irrespective of their ability everyone can thrive.
My hope is that this center is a sanctuary of support for those that enter, a reminder to the community to push boundaries, ensuring inclusion is more that an idea but a reality.
