On May 22nd, Bucketworks turned 6 years old. We want to thank everyone who has become a part of this community and invite those who have not to join and support Bucketworks as we grow. I understand that today, on WUWM's Lake Effect Bob Greenstreet Dean of Architecture at UW-Milwaukee gave us a mention. We would like to thank Bob and all the other folks who have been kind enough to help us spread the word. Direct from our Exec Direct, "We want to know all of the things you celebrate about Milwaukee, so we can share them with everyone as fast as possible. Bring $20, $40, $60, or $100 and sign up your favorite innovative creative Milwaukee Maker as a student, adult, family, or organizational member." Celebrate creativity? Entrepreneurship? Theatre? Dance? Technology? The arts? Come join our other members as we create a place where Milwaukee's creativity is celebrated in this city. Every day. By you.
