Hey, $firstname. Congratulations on becoming a member of Makers Local 256!
I have just set up the username you requested and set a password for you:
Username: $username Password: $pass
Here's some stuff you should do, now that you're a member:
1. Visit https://256.makerslocal.org/account/ and change your password.
2. Visit https://256.makerslocal.org/member-donations/ to set up your recurring donation to Makers Local via PayPal or credit card. Our suggested monthly donation amount of $25 is related to our operating expenses divided across all our members. Our hope is that members will donate what membership is worth to them, but not more than they can afford.
