Code for Sacramento presents its inaugural Hack4Sac event - a 24-HOUR HACKATHON open to coders, designers, and community members - in honor of National Day of Civic Hacking 2013. Join us at Hacker Lab (http://hackerlab.org/) in midtown Sacramento!

We'll be kicking off on Friday evening, May 31 and hacking until 5:00 pm on Saturday, June 1. If you can't join us Friday night, don't worry! All Friday events - challenges, pitches, and team member recruiting - will be updated live on our event hackpad (https://hackforchange.hackpad.com/Hack4Sac-gRg1Zef04oo), so you can arrive Saturday morning completely in the know and ready to code!
