Hey, $firstname. Congratulations on becoming a member of Makers Local 256!
Now that you're a member, come by the shop sometime and we'll get you access to open up the shop. You'll use either a USB flash drive or an NFC or RFID tag as your "key." We'll register your device in the system next time we see you. I have just set up an LDAP account for you. You can use the following username and password for all shop services:
Username: $username Password: $pass
The first thing you will want to do is change your password. To do so, login to https://256.makerslocal.org/account/.
Please review the rules and policies currently active at Makers Local 256:
At your earliest convenience, please log into https://256.makerslocal.org/donations/ with your LDAP credientials so that you can donate to Makers Local via PayPal (or via your credit card). If you would like to physically deliver your donation instead, just drop it in the office donation box when you get a chance. There are envelopes on the side of the box if you need one. Either way, we need you to log in to the donation page so that we know when you've sent your donation each month. This makes life a little easier for our treasurer, so please do it as soon as possible. More information about donating to the shop can be found here: http://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/index.php/Donations
