[Grants] Grant Application from Robyn Willison for E-Textiles Course

[Kathy Reid]

+1 to what Sae Ra said.

Strong alignment to values, well articulated costs, honorarium is 
encouraged within the Grant terms to recognise the time people put into 
these efforts.

At a more strategic level, there is a natural affinity between the LA 
community and HackerSpaces / MakerSpaces and it makes sense to fund more 
of these types of requests.

Kind regards,

Kathy Reid
