[Vanhackspace] Vanhackspace Digest, Vol 15, Issue 18

Sun May 31 00:26:09 PDT 2009

Hey

Right now, we encourage people to make a min monthly donation of 25 if
they're using our tools.  Many of the founding members pay more to get this
off the ground.  There is a tiered structure being fleshed out for the 24
hour space once we get it.

Given that the list has at over 100 members, if 25 would commit,  we could
theoretically move in with tools and/or have a bigger space.

I also want to see a good library in the space as well.  Noisebridge has a
lot of that.

I think we can do it.  Fuck PSOne!

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?
