	Once you're a member, talk to any officer and they can get you set up. The officer will make a copy of your photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) and put in a request with the landlord for a copy of the key. You will need to pay $15 to cover the cost of key duplication from Atlantic Lock and Key (13 W 25th Street). Also, be aware that there is a $100 fee if you lose the key or are otherwise unable to return it if you decide to stop your membership.

	The Baltimore Node is collectively run by its members. The officers are responsible for some administrative tasks, but all decisions are determined by a vote of the members. When you come to a meeting and say you'd like to join, the members present at meeting hold a quick vote to confirm you as a member. The vote itself is largely a formality. We want new members to join and use the space. If you've hung around the space for any amount of time, chatted with some members, and filled out the membership application, you're golden. If no one at the meeting has ever seen you before, you might be asked to spend some time getting to know the members and wait until the next meeting to be confirmed.
