[Makerspace-keymembers] [Imc-makerspace] Pi Day

Mon Mar 14 10:29:01 EDT 2016

Hi all,

1) Can whomever add 6.28, 31.41, and 62.82 to the donation options on the
website? (Can this get confirmed when it happens? I want to do a email
blitz but want the site to be accurate before I do it)

2) A friendly reminder to increase your recurring donation or make an
additional one-time donation, then email all your peeps with the pi day
message (today!) and tell them you just did it.

FYI I won't be able to stay long, but I'll be bringing by a lime pi(e).

See you soon,
ezB

The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no
parachute. The good news is, there's no ground. - Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
