Do the members that pay $20 a month actually put in their work hours? Is it enforced, or does it work on the honor system? Have you had to tell anyone yet to put in their hours or change over to the $60 donation?<br><span></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span></span></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Matt lehner <mlehner@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Jeff Cotten <omegix@yahoo.com>; Hackerspaces General Discussion List

At Buffalo Lab we have a very low minimum payment ($20 /month)<br>supplemented by required work hours. Work hours being things to<br>improve the space: running a SIG group, working on a community<br>project, cleaning, building, etc. We also have a $60/month membership<br>that is not required to do the extra work hours. We encourage everyone<br>to pay as much as they can in excess of the $20 and about half of the<br>members pay more, in the range of $25 - $50/month. Between that and<br>donations solicited from SIG attendees we make our expenses.<br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
