New Student C.B. Donor Support Rate!

[gafftaper]

I was talking with Dave about the fund raising campaign and suggested he add a student rate. So there is now a half price $15 a year rate for students to be able to help support the good work of Control Booth.

Do college students qualify for this discount rate? Here's the test to determine...
1) Is a wild Friday night Top Ramen, Water, and watching TV in the commons? Yes... you pay the $15 rate
2) Is a wild Friday night dinner, drinks, concert, and more drinks? Yes... you pay the $30 rate

Seriously, pay what you can without it being a hardship. If you are new to the Booth or can't afford it, please don't donate. This is a fund raising drive for the regular members who have been helped by the Booth and want to give back. There are plenty of us who do have the money who can make this happen.

So Donate today and thank you!

I went to donate and cant quite figure out why it costs more to donate if your in Canada?

At todays exchange $30USD should be $29.85 CDN not $34.50 CDN

When that gets updated ill donate for sure :D

Ps. This isn't about the money it's that our dollar is higher then yours now lol.... and metric rules.

specifying concerts, eh... I feel like I have been picked out...

Well the jokes on you because I already donated the full amount!

JH...
You Canadians and your exchange rate. It used to be my wife and I could go to Vancouver for the weekend and live like kings! Everything was half price! Granted there was the 20% tax but it was still cheap. Now we can't afford to go up there!

Pie... Maybe I was thinking of you and maybe I wasn't You donated... that's the important part.

Ok well I may have donated but im mad :P

lol... I think I've figured out how to keep the exchange rate fair on a day to day basis. I've eliminated the other currency options and just set it for the US dollar. Paypal will do the conversion at the current rate automatically from the host currency to the US dollar.

Enjoy it while it lasts, it won't be for long.(in the span of history)

The way I (and many economic analysts) figure it a north American currency is less than 20 years away.

Hey at least someone finally is honoring the exchange rate, so many rates for canadians are set higher, and it doesn't matter what the exchange rate is.

I know the one bad thing about the canadian dollar rising rapidly is if it stays like this for nay period of time, the film industry will probably leave vancouver and other major film areas of Canada. They came here to keep cost down, but if it's cheaper in the states thats where they'll be.
