      • If VHS membership income does not increase net membership income by $750 a month by August 2015 (a net increase of 30 (new members / members stepping up to keyholder status), VHS membership rates will increase to: Standard membership: $30 (a $5 increase), and keyholder membership to $60 a month. No changes is implied to the policies of supporting members with financial hardship at the directors discretion. Contributions less than $30 are considered friends of the space, as contributions of less than $25 are now.
