This is basically what I originally proposed. I don't think someone who
makes 150% of the federal poverty level (about 17K this year) can afford to
pay $35. This would allow me to automatically approve their membership if
their income is low enough. The low income level is $25.

I see this as a no lose situation since Chris will reimburse us if no one
buys the bracelets and stickers. The bracelets I'm looking at are like
those livestrong bracelets. They would be half blue half orange. They would
say "SYN/HAK: We Make Akron" on them. We could offer those with a $5
donation. Trever wants to do a kickstarter for the 3-D printer and this
could be something to give out with a specific donation level for the
kickstarter. 100 bracelets would be $78. Chris is in charge of designing
the stickers.


Let us know what you think about these!
