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.
