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

Mon Mar 21 00:12:43 EDT 2016

Hey everyone, March 18 has now passed and we should make good on our raffle.

Jeff, can you pull up the list of people who've made a donation between
March 11 and March 18?  I don't know if there's a good way to know which in
that list have done a regular recurring donation vs. new/increased
donation.  Maybe we don't care?

We should announce the winner of the raffle in the next couple of days.
