[Vanhackspace] Vanhackspace Digest, Vol 15, Issue 18

Sun May 31 00:10:36 PDT 2009

Speaking of paying members, and new spaces, etc. I've been lurking the 
e-mail list here for a while but just haven't gotten a word out yet. Been 
very interested in what I've been seeing so far.

What are the current normal membership dues (if they exist), I took a quick 
browse around the website and couldn't see any information about it. Life is 
keeping me busy-ish at the moment but I'd still be into giving some monetary 
support to help keep things going even if I can't get more properly 
involved.

And as a related note, for sending membership dues (or donations), where 
should they be sent? and addressed to whom?
