 **Ideas for Makerfaire 2017**
   * Make cards for VHS members to put on their tables identifying them as VHS members/projects
+  * Business cards with VHS's URL, address, and Tuesday open night info
+  * VHS Village was an awesome idea and we should make it happen next year.
+  * Have someone photograph all the VHS things, then share the images via... what? Google Docs? WordPress media uploads? VHS needs a place for storing images generally.
+**Learn-to-Solder improvements**
+  * Make a bigger deal about transistor polarity
+  * Have at least three blinkly badges built as "display models"
+  * A big sign/banner.
+  * Placing the signup table in the dead centre of the booth with clear signage worked wonderfully
+  * Rewrite some sections of the instructions.  The LED section is super confusing.  A lot of sections need more photographs.
+  * Bring spare plastic tips for the desoldering pumps to replace the ones that are too melted.
+**Info Booth Improvements**
+  * Cards or pamphlets
+  * A better "Who are we" banner
+  * Project cards (this is an arduino project that...)
+  * More diverse projects - wood, metal, electronics, cosplay
