+1 to free solutions. However, as Amber said, if we are going to have expenses (which it appears we already have wrt meetup and there could be more) I would see it as appropriate to spread that cost around somehow.

I gather we have a treasurer position but no idea what the funds situation looks like) but the extra work seems to be worth it to keep everything transparent.
