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

Mon Mar 14 11:39:35 EDT 2016

I can probably get to that around noon... And there is a documented process
for adding stripe payments here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UI4k5XNw_AQaJ-a48E-HoPfhr0UoDhqoHIdXGAjqkbY/edit#heading=h.nhlzthyjmk2y
but I'm not sure anyone has tried following the instructions yet. If
someone wants to test it feel free!

Thanks,
Jeff
