TBDDear <brname>,
 
Congratulations once again on being accepted for the Fat Cat Fab Lab Maker Residency! Your Residency begins on MM-DD-YYYY and before that, there are a few items to take care of so you can hit the ground running.
 
Please review and carry out these steps over the next week:
 
1. Sign up for an account on Fat Cat Fab Lab's website [https://civicrm.fatcatfablab.org/user/register here]
 
An administrator will approve your new account and reach out to you via email.
 
2. You'll then need to request a new password https://civicrm.fatcatfablab.org/user/password
 
3. Sign in and reset your password to something you'll remember.
 
4. Arrange to come to the lab to pick up your 24/7 access card and sign the Maker Residency Acceptance Agreement.
 
5. Provide a photo of you and/or some of your work to FCFL for the purposes of introducing you as one of our Maker Residents! Drop images in either the #social-media channel on Slack, or the provided Google Drive folder.
 
6. Sign up for your first class. Classes can be found at [https://www.meetup.com/fat-cat-fab-lab/events/ our events page].
 
Once these items are completed you're all set! We're excited to have you as a Fat Cat Fab Lab Maker Resident!

'''Discussion Questions'''
* Are we decided on scheduling the cycle dates & cadence? 1 Artist every month? Twice a year? Is our goal to get ahold of the donation funds or to get quality workshops? DBell: [...]list the residency maybe twice a year. For the long term it will seem like a more valuable residency that way (as opposed to a continuous cycle of them).
* Are we decided on complexity - one residency option or two different ones? Still 1 artist per month?
* If there are multiple residents at one time, their chosen tools should ideally not overlap, ie: if one person is focused on the laser then another should be focused on 3D printing, so as not to clog up the members' ability to maximize their use of these tools during the resident's stay.
* If residency is still 100% free, we might want to collect card payment information at the start to act like a damage deposit if they destroy the laser or never complete their workshop.
* Ask applicants for a small administration fee? (Leaning towards 'no', though can add later on if we get too many or non-serious applications
