Several Rotarians planning to join Chip Finch for a visit to the 757 Makerspace on Saturday at 2 p.m. are wondering where it is. This center for people who make things is in Ghent at 421 W. 22nd Street, just off of Colonial Avenue. There is parking right beside the building and on the street. Inside you will see all kinds of power tools, hand tools, 3-D printers, laser printers and more being used by folks to make all kinds of creative items.
 
Beau Turner, who heads the Makerspace, is looking forward to your visit and explaining the cooperative makerspace concept, which is gaining momentum across the country. This tour is suitable for all ages since the Makerspace has programs for children as well as adults.
