Akron had a professional football team called the Vulcans in 1967.
The practiced at St. Vincents and played at the Rubber Bowl.
Sadly, they only played 4 games before succumbing to a scandal that left
then bankrupt.
So technically, there could still be some Vulcans in the area.

If you can prove you are a Vulcan you get in free.

In order to become a member you must fill out a membership
application. The membership application requires you to:
a.) Let us know why you want to be a member and how you can be an
asset to our community.
b.) Get two members to sponsor you
You must also be able to afford the monthly membership fee. If you
are a student, low income, or both then we have options to help
accommodate.
I don't know whether I would require one to be a Homo Sapien in
order to be a member. I'd be totally cool with a Vulcan or the
like being a member.

Thank you Alexander for the detailed overview! I feel your
concerns are just and warranted!
I do want to add that if you are not a member yet and on
this list you can help support Akron's _ONLY Makerspace
_Community by becoming a member. Not only can you assure
that the space can grow, get new toys, and offer more
services to the community, BUT also help steer the space
by gaining voting rights.
We have come a long way since the inception of the group
but there is more to do.
For less than a few dinners eating out or a couple cases
of beer, you can help to keep SynHak alive and strong!

Stay Excellent!

Howdy Hakkers!
The meeting with the Akron Business Accelerator Group
is tonight so here is an in depth look of our
finances. I realize that there are a lot of new people
on the list with our most recent press in the ABJ so I
will try to explain everything so everyone can
understand. We want each one of our members to
understand our financial situation. SYN/HAK runs on a
policy of complete transparency so if I over explain
things in this email I apologize in advance.
We have $3426.86 at the moment. Please keep in mind
that I still need to pay for one more month of
internet service at our current location.
We have 17 paying members right now including 1
suspended membership, 11 Budding Nerds, 3 Serious
Geeks, 1 Uebergeek, and 1 Benefactor. This means that
we make a maximum of $905/mo and a minimum of $814.50/mo.
Why do we have a minimum and maximum? Because we
discount our members who pay for three or more months
at a time by 10%. The maximum amount that we make is
assuming no one takes advantage of that discount. The
minimum is assuming every single member takes
advantage of that discount. The truth of the matter is
that about half of our member do this.
Our board discussed before we moved into our current
location what the budget should be. We, obviously, do
not want to spend all of our money on rent, utilities,
etc. We also need to be prepared for sudden drops in
membership. The board decided that a minimum 20%
buffer would suffice. This would make our current
budget for rent, utilities, internet and all of that
good stuff be $651.60. Right now, we spend $598.85/mo.
Just to be clear, I figure out what we can afford
based off of what we make minimum. I realize these are
conservative estimates but I would rather make
estimates that are on the low side than the high side.
I don't want SYN/HAK to go bankrupt because I budgeted
too much money for things like rent. The extra money
that we end up making goes to things like safety
equipment and other necessities for the space.
If we did end up getting a place where we spend
$650/mo we could lose up to 4 Budding Geek members and
still stay in the black. Anymore, and I will be
getting really nervous.
If anyone has any other questions, please don't
hesitate to reply to this email or get directly in
contact with me. I will not be able to make it to the
meeting tonight because I have to work but I will make
sure to be checking my email obsessively so I can
answer any questions in a timely fashion. You are also
free to call or text me if it is very urgent.
Thanks,
Alexander Golightley
