Our network is important. We vote new members in. It’s not a hard process!

Please come to our “Open House” on any Tuesday from 7 PM to 10 PM. Get to know some of our members and share your interesting projects. The members vote on new member applications every Tuesday, so be sure to introduce yourself.
Step 2:
Read our Bylaws and Policy Documents. They explain how we, as an organization, are run.
Step 3:
Fill out an application. The Secretary will follow up with an email to let you know you are on the ballot.
Step 4:
Members will vote on the application the upcoming Tuesday meeting. Its helpful to attend that meeting so member can get to know you, but not required.
Step 5:
If your application is accepted by the members, congratulations! Next we require your first and last month dues; Students pay $25 a month, so a total of $50, regular members pay $35 a month, so a total of $70. You can bring a check, cash or sign up for automatic stripe credit card payment with a board member during the Tuesday night meeting.
Once dues are paid, you'll get your swipe cards and keys.
