Hey Guys & Gals,
My son’s best friend (Phoenix) is turning 9 in a couple of days and his mom (single, in
school, no money) planned a Lego Building Birthday Party at a park this weekend but
weather forecast predict rain for Sunday afternoon - all the invitations are out for 2
weeks so the date is in all the kid’s parent’s planners. She told me last night she is
going to cancel the party because of the rain but I suggested that she might consider
having it in the Omni - Ball Room or Basement or some room that is not in use.
I thought this would be a really good opportunity for Omni exposure to people (parents)
who might not otherwise get their butts over to the Omni. Also the kids could have a
significant positive life long influence.
About a week ago, I brought my son Aidan and Phoenix to the Omni. They played the video
games on iPads quietly until Jake invited them to operate the Robot Arm. They had a blast.
It it is possible and works with Jakes schedule I am sure the kids would love 60 seconds
each spinning the knobs on the Robot controller.
Now that I think about it - the boys were pretty jazzed about the 3D printers as well.
This could be a real opportunity to teach novices how to write code for 3 D printing - my
husband would show up for that.
Ok - enough with my enthusiasm for having a kids b’day party at the Omni - what about
getting the go a head from the people who say “yes” or “no”? Phoenix’s mom want’s to know
who she has to talk to - to see if she (1) can use some space in the Omni as an
alternative location if it indeed does rain on Saturday.
Please contact me by phone (Alice 415-272-0596) or Sujata by email.
I have no idea who to ask about using these other spaces. I guess you could send me a link
if there is one location to check out overall scheduling for difference spaces at the
omni.
Thanks for reading.
