Hello $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 key access. You'll need some model of jump drive, any kind or size, and it doesn't matter how much space you have. Our door lock reads your serial number. We'll enter you in the system next time we see you. I have just setup an LDAP account for your use with everything at the shop. You can use the following username and password for all services:

Username: $username Password: $pass

To change your password, login to https://256.makerslocal.org/zimbra

• Donations

If you've pledged a donation to the Makers Local, please drop it off when you get a chance. There are envelopes on the side of the white donation box if you need one. Once you donate, logging into https://256.makerslocal.org/donations/ with your LDAP credientials will allow you keep track of your monthly donations and subdue the reminder demon until the next month. We need you to log in to the donation page so that your name will be added to the database. This makes life a little easier for our treasurer, so please do it as soon as possible.

If you would like to send your donation electronically or via credit card, we have Paypal! http://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/index.php/Donations
