I just looked at the list of stores that are included if you shop at safeway, superstore or sobery's already think about getting a gift card and support you local hacker space at the same time. The next part might sound mean and I am sorry if I upset any one. Quit bitching about extra costs and all that stuff and be thankful that someone is trying help out skullspace. It is getting old about someone keep wanting to beat a dead horse and ask to up the fees because members are not going to support it.
