The steampunk community in general, and the members of Brass Goggles in particular, have always shown themselves to be generous in donating their time, talent, and funds to improving the community.
In light of the Haiti tragedy, I’m asking that anyone who was considering making a donation to Brass Goggles in the near future direct those [...]

To keep everyone updated with my my previous post/s, here’s some links regarding the official launch of the Aquitarian Guild of Inventors & Engineers or AGIE for short.
