Hi all!

As you might have heard, it's time for a small increase in the dues for Omaha Maker Group.  We have kept our dues steady at $35 and $15 since we started in 2010, but we've been able to bring you so much more for your monthly membership now than ever before.  With more members and more great equipment, the Board has decided that we need to be a little more proactive in our operation.  We have decided to implement a small "tool fund" that will cover wear items and basic space operation.  This includes saw blades, drill bits, bottled water, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and similar.   Kevin has volunteered to manage this process, including keeping a wiki of replacement parts and managing the purchases to bring the best possible value to OMG.

To fund this, we are going to be increasing our membership rates to $40 for the Standard membership (key-holder) and $20 for the Basic membership (starving student).  These rate increases will be effective December 1st for all new members.

Through conversations among the Board, we have decided to "grandfather in" existing members at their current rates, though we ask that you consider voluntarily increasing your membership rate to be considerate of the Tool Fund and all that it supplies to our space.  All of the Board members have already increased their own monthly dues.  If you decide to voluntarily raise your payment, send an email to fin...@omahamakergroup.org and it'll get easily adjusted for you.

However...  we also decided that we would offer the "grandfathered in" option as a way to give you an extra-special benefit!  Between now and December 1st, any member that is currently at $15 can bump up to the $35 rate, and anyone who is not yet a member can join at the current $35 or $15.  It's a great chance to lock in the low membership rates before they increase!

Just go to our website, www.omahamakergroup.org and click on the PayPal subscription.  Remember, rates go up on December 1st, so act now!

Feel free to message me directly if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Hard to believe we're ALREADY half-way through November. Just a reminder that we've got a special offer until December 1st - sign up now for $35 standard (key holder) dues before the rates go up!
