** Possible account with [http://www.southeastfinancial.com Southeast Financial] a credit union

* Space
** If we are going to have a bank account soon, our next thing is to start looking at spaces
** When is everyone free to go around and scope out some areas and pick up some numbers to contact?
** A wiki page needs to be started for this that lays out brief descriptions of locations and contact info
* Dues
** Hacker Consortium
*** $100 - joining fee, keeps people from dropping in and out regularly
*** $40/month - after
*** No student rate
*** If board sees fit, as a whole they are allowed to create new tiers on the fly (i.e. a member had a wreck and can't pay at the moment)
** Freeside Atlanta
*** $80/month - regular
*** $40/month - student
*** They are hard set on their dues, but as a result they have a really awesome space
** Makers Local 256
*** Some pay $300, others $100, some $30
*** They ask that you pay what you think your time is worth, but that leaves it to other members to pickup the slack
*** As a result they have members who pay a lot more and that member gets to have a little/lot more say in things
** Pumping Station: One
*** $50 - regular
*** $30 - starving maker
*** They've had some setup before where unemployed members may not pay, but I believe they regularly do the starving maker fee
