Fiscal Solvency

   Monthly Expenses: $1750

   If we wanted to come in to filling a small portion of the standing funds: membership funds of $80

   Marc suggests having smaller dues, ammenable by Matt's suggestion to offer an array or options, making it clear that $80 is the calculated amount based on costs

   Do a survey of the email list to ask about donation preferences
