10 years as of what date? I will be 10 years in August I believe. Doesn’t seem like that long.

I’m also in the 10 year club this year (December iirc). Is there any appetite in the new board to me keeping my grandfathered rate come renewal time in December? That would be a nice recognition in my opinion.

The party is at the end of August, but I’m thinking anytime in 2025 makes you a 10-year member.

This is not the thread for that. We are trying to plan a party and get information.
The rate thing is done and over with. Get over it and move on or cancel your membership.

I joined in January of 2015, so I guess I’ve been a member of DMS just a little more than 10 years.
It has been one of the most amazing things being a member for this time. DMS has some of the finest creators/makers in the world. I have learned a great deal from so many of them.
Here’s to another 20 years.

2010 founder here kept my dues up until I let my membership lapse during covid. Here’s a pic of me doing the final close in 2009 of the DPRG in Garland: and https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Category:Members showing dues paying in Aug 2010 (though the reality is I took $600 of my earmarked VZB donation in 2009 to apply to the original hackerspace steering committee to get the 1st lease over in Lake Highlands.

Although I was not a “founder” like @dougemes and many other DPRG folks, I did join DMS midsummer 2010, so 15 year member. I looked and WHMCS does not go back that far. I joined just as the build-out on Lady Bird commenced. I remember they were having a cookout and DPRG had robots roving around in the parking lot. Trying to find photos from back then.

Ha, missed by a few days… I’d been a member since day one, and was around before that, since Ed and I started the ball rolling back in DPRG times. But there was a recent change in membership dues that killed my paypal subscription and terminated my membership. Since I haven’t actually been coming out to the space for the last few years, I decided that was probably for the best. But good to see a few old-timers still around and best of luck with the party! If I can provide any historical info or photos from the early days that would help out let me know, happy to help.

Thanks Steve, I believe you were the first person I met at Ladybird along with Alyssa.

No, it means you are paying the membership price that was instituted in 2011.
