Proposed Special Member Dues Pricing

General Members will have the option of a bulk buy of 12 months of dues for a one time payment of 11 month's dues. This is for both the voting and the non-voting members. If passed this offer will go into effect immediately.

e.g.

12 months of Voting Membership dues for a one time payment of $49 x 11 = $539.


There is no expiration date for this offer.

In the event of a refund in the Nth month of 12, then the 12th month is to be considered the free month and refunds would be given up through the 11th month times the normal monthly rate.

Proposal:
Implement yearly dues package

  • Loosely associated with Yuri's Night Planning
  • Loosely associated with ChronoVision for MakerFaire
  • Planning to work on arcade console with Evan for MakerFaire (poke poke)
  • Coordinated class for Vacuum Former, lead by John Sugg, currently working toward follow up class for those unable to attend.
  • Took first part of Laser Cutter Training, needs to schedule follow up for certification
  • Took 'Using the Jointer, Planer and Saw to make Dimensioned Boards' with Greg Smith, have since enjoyed the pleasures of planing rough cut boards (similar satisfaction to cutting straight lines in a well maintained lawn).
  • Awaiting parts for non-engine repairs to motorcycle.
  • Preliminary investigation of 3D Printer Resin indicates a mixture, containing at least polyurethane as a base... I'll look deeper into it when I have less important things to science.
  • I'll think of more...
