 +===== When Can I come by and see and use the Space at VHS? =====
 +Members can come and access the space during the following times:
 +  * VHS is accessible on Tuesday Open House nights to the general public.  This night is for the public, members and keyholders to come and check out the space.
 +  * Regular Open to member hours hosted by our awesome roster of hosts.  Check our events calendar or www.isvhsopen.com.
 +  * Adhoc Open to member hours hosted by people who don’t mind turning the space open and set the space clock.
 +  * Community maintenance days (hosted by a keyholder).  These are held on the first Saturday of every month.
 +  * Social events like SHHH! or Culture Crawl
 +  * By invitation of a keyholder. (keyholders are free to decline if they wish).
 +
 +Members who have not become keyholders have a curfew of 10pm-7am.  This means unless they're specifically there by the invitation of a keyholder they are not permitted to stay at VHS beyond this time.
 +
 +When you come by introduce yourself to some of the others in the space.  We're really mostly friendly and you will probably have questions about the space in general so don't be shy.

 While a bottomliner is the responsible person for running the space while he/she opens it, a keyholder never is under the obligation to open it. If a keyholder is working with tools that require presence in the immediate vicinity, the keyholder cannot be considered to be a bottomliner. A good example is a tool like the laser cutter, or otherwise being involved with equipment that requires unobstructed attention, such as working in the workshop. While a bottomliner is the responsible person for running the space while he/she opens it, a keyholder never is under the obligation to open it.
