Subject: Makers Local 256 has received your membership application

Dear _________________________,

Everyone at Makers Local 256 would like to thank you for your membership application.  We will be voting on it three days from now and the vote will be final five days after that (a total of 8 days).

Makers Local 256 feels that membership isn't just about having your name on some paperwork.  Its more about learning, teaching, and discovering new ideas as well as socializing with like minded individuals.  That is why we would like to invite you to check out our wiki ( https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki ), collaborate on projects or stop by the shop whenever it's open.  A good way to find out if the shop is open is to check the cams ( https://256.makerslocal.org/camera ), ask in chat ( irc.freenode.net #makerslocal ), ask on the general mailing list ( https://lists.makerslocal.org/mailman/listinfo/general ), or stop by on Saturday afternoons.

Again thank you for your application, we all look forward to seeing what interesting projects you come up with.

Makers Local 256 Secretary,
____________
