Question: What are the dues used for?
dues help pay for equipment, tools, misc parts, electricity to run the hive, snacks & drinks (not including alcohol)
Note that your contribution does not need to be monetary. Participation in or organizing events such as a maker fair could be considered a contribution for that month. The donation of usable parts such as Stepper motors or power supplies could also be considered. (used parts must be in working condition, please don't flood the Hive with junk parts).
