=====How to become a Makers' Alliance Member=====



**First Steps:**
  *Join the [[mailing list]]. Preferably in a mode other than "No Mail" (seriously, you want to get our mail! You'll miss out on important messages if you select "No Mail"). Send a message and introduce yourself. Let us know what you're into and what you would like to make and/or learn.
  *Come and visit at an open time (i.e. Tuesday Night).
    *Sign a waiver when you enter the space (in order to enter, you must sign it...)
    *Get to know people. Talk about what you want to do.
    *Still think we're alright? Continue on...

**Next Steps:**
  *Sign up for an account on this [[wiki]].
  *Sign up for our [[Slack]] team
  *Continue coming to open nights. Get involved in discussions on the mailing list. Contribute to some [[Projects]]. Teach [[Classes]]. Help out.

**Ready to become a dues paying member?**

If you've done the steps above, it's time to start making regular contributions to support the space. The easiest way to do this is to use the recurring payment button below. Note that dues are not tax-deductible.

(Embedding Paypal HTML in Dokuwiki somehow broke- go to the [[http://alpha.makersalliance.org/join/|new Join Page on the main website]] instead.

DON'T SUBMIT PAYMENT EXPECTING ACCESS UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN APPROVED TO. Otherwise, we appreciate your donation, but access requires approval!
