      <title>What's this?</title>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050" face="Open Sans"&gt;Good afternoon Spacers.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050" face="Open Sans"&gt;By now you all should have received an email from WildApricot talking about membership expirations.&amp;nbsp; This is no cause for concern!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050" face="Open Sans"&gt;As a part of my last acts as Treasurer, part of the job had been to get rid of PayPal (or at least lessen it's burden on us) as well as streamline the membership portion of the treasurer's office.&amp;nbsp; To that end I asked the Directors about getting a better membership software package, and WildApricot is it.&amp;nbsp; WA is in use by a handful of other hackerspaces, and is a pretty good deal.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050" face="Open Sans"&gt;This system will be replacing both Seltzer (the membership part) and Eventbrite (an added bonus), and will add a donor-tracking system (something we've needed).&amp;nbsp; It also automates the process of reminding cash members (ie those not using a credit-card through the website) that their dues are... due.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Open Sans"&gt;So keep a lookout for an email from '&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="mailto:quelab@wildapricot.org"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#1155CC" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;U&gt;quelab@wildapricot.org&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT face="Open Sans"&gt;', and don't throw it away.&amp;nbsp; Those of you who have been looking to ditch paypal, you can renew your membership through WildApricot (paying with a credit card on our Stripe account) and end your paypal subscription, and things will flow through successfully. Those of you who wish to remain an in-person payor, that will continue, and those of you who wish to continue using PayPal can also keep doing that too.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050" face="Open Sans"&gt;If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I will be holding office hours tonight at Hacknight, so come on by.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#500050"&gt;Thanks!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
