Various Income Suggestions

• Free shirt with a new member sign up ( cost ~$20 )
• More merchandise options like Hats, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, pins, patches, pens, lanyards, etc
• Sell merchandise at more events like Comicon, Jimcon, secret handshake, etc.
  • This would be easier with things that aren't purely promotional
• More donation drives!! Each hackathon set a goal and aim to hit it! ( insert giant thermometer here )
• Partnerships with RRC, U of W, etc as a place for talks to happen that is off campus.
• More corporate type / level donations
• Make personal work/storage space available for a fee
  • (Storage would be above and beyond the small normal member project storage area, of course)

Ideas for the space itself

(Copied raw from Projects)

• Lockers for members to lock up projects while they are away.
• Carpool system for anyone who wants to participate.
• A dropbox for having things shipped to, not everyone can be home to accept UPS deliveries.
• Member / project pages on the website to show off what we can do.
• A company credit card for members who don't have one to order parts online with.
• Bicycle storage (rack or ??)
