The club and its name, RenLUG, came about in early 2019 as a group of friends were building as a way to relax after a robotics tournament and discussing hobbies that would always keep the group together. That idea evolved into involving others in our shared hobbies by starting an informal group that would meet monthly for LEGO® building. Our new group needed a name, so we combined two words for an easy way to refer to our regular LEGO® hobby meetups.
Renaissance – a time of great technological advancements and a rebirth of creative and artistic endeavors
LUG – an acronym for LEGO® User Group
In 2024, marking our fifth anniversary, we applied for and successfully obtained 501(c)(3) non-profit status.
Amazing group – they welcomed me as if I were an old friend. Their huge mou displays are a site to be seen and even let me contribute a small build to add to the larger display. Well organized and welcoming LUG.
