Maker Faire Founder Dale Dougherty will share how he put into practice “If you imagine it, you can make it” to make a huge event beloved in the Bay Area and beyond for the past two decades. The first Maker Faire in 2006 at the San Mateo Expo Center brought an explosion of art, craft, engineering, fashion, green design, music, technology, and so much more to the Bay Area. Over the next decade or so, the event expanded to more than 200 licensed Maker Faires in more than 40 countries, and many more smaller events at schools. SAEB President and Maker Faire Crew alumna Michelle Hlubinka exhibited at that Maker Faire 2006 and joined its crew the next spring. She’ll be in conversation with some of the key players who made the event—and a whole movement!—happen.

The Sunday Assembly is a secular congregation that celebrate life. Our motto: live better, help often, wonder more. Our mission: to help everyone find and fulfill their full potential. Our vision: a secular congregation in every town, city and village that wants one. We’re a non-religious community that meets up to enjoy each other’s company and encourage one another to do our best. We gather as a larger group on one Sunday a month. While there’s an order to our meeting, we have no doctrine, no sermons, and no liturgy. Instead, we have speakers on wide-ranging topics, sing fun lyrics, and eat lunch together. On other days between the celebrations, we also get together to have book clubs, dine at restaurants, go on hikes, see movies, and lots more.

We meet in person at 1924 Cedar Street and on Zoom for Worship Services on Sundays at 10:30 AM. If you’d like to attend via Zoom, please email worshiponline@bfuu.org for the meeting ID and link. You can also stream the service live and catch the replay on BFUU’s Youtube channel.
