[MakeLV] Who are we ???

[Rob]

Understand .... So I think the people should organize under MakeLehighValley
..... but still retain the Hive4A aspect somehow ... so we could always use
the tag line "MakeLehighValley at Hive4A" ....

I like the graphic with the nostalgic industrial feel ..... I think that
works well .... each hackerspace has it's own identity ... would be nice if
we could pay homage to Allentown's heyday as a center of manufacturing ....
