As Marina mentioned in her email, we&#39;re <b>short rent</b> and need to <b>collect dues</b> from everyone to cover it. I understand that meeting attendance hasn&#39;t been as high as active membership in general, but if you&#39;ve missed out on paying dues in the last month, can do so, and can make it tonight, come!<div>
<br></div><div>One thing I thought might make a significant different in collecting rent and dues is having a (physical) drop box installed on the wall in Sudoroom, so that people could safely drop off checks at any time of the day. I suppose this would be much like the mailbox, but mayhaps with keys distributed to the ~5 checksigners, so that checks could even be dropped off in this physical box after receiving them in the mail. I&#39;m broke until I get my first paycheck from my new work in ~2.5 weeks, and don&#39;t really have a lot of things, so I&#39;m wondering if anyone has any ideas about a potential lockable dropbox to install on the wall / somewhere at Sudoroom. If all else fails, I&#39;ll check out urban ore before the meeting.</div>
