Depends on the "them". Teach kids: yes. That's our mission (actually, it isn't -- our mission it to provide them opportunities, but that's pretty vague.) And it is free. Teach adults: yes. But that's not our mission. That's our revenue stream. Same thing with repairs and parts. The reality is that space costs money. Lights cost money. Heat costs money. USB sticks cost money. We need to fund those items. If someone has better ideas on how those things can be funded, pass them on to the board.
