We had something wonderful going with Sudo Kids. iirc, people from
Hayward were actually driving up here for it. I hope very much that we
can reboot this at our new space.

Vicky has been talking to the OUSD after school program. Oakland
International school is a few blocks from the omni.

I was going to do another library teenzone event this month but burned

With respect to the diversity of human kinship structure, I would much
prefer to frame this as accessibility for all ages, rather than
"families vs singles".
