*Note that at many vendors (with or without discounts) there is a cash account (that can't be used for purchases on term credit) under "Calgary Protospace Ltd." Note that puts us under "C", not under "P".
*Some vendors may want to see your "company ID" in order to take advantage of the discount. This is your Protospace ID card, which you can receive once you become a vetted member of Protospace.
*By attempting to access a Protospace Member discount, you agree to keep your dues paid, and that, on request,  Protospace may verify to the merchant that you are a member (no personal information is shared with the merchant).

We have a discount available for Laser Materials because we just bought some cutter thing, however, it is a limited time offer.
* PROTO5 for 5% off abrasives
Therefore, next Monday (the 16th) I will be placing an order for goodies from Trotec.
* PROTO10 for 10% off steel
*The catalog is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By-vvp6fxFekSHNYRzJzdGI2d1k
*The retail price list is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By-vvp6fxFekMm5pV0NhaEFPeFU
*The prices for plastics (what we might use most) is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By-vvp6fxFekYzNTOGxkWGE1d1U
Unless other wise stated, the plastics are 24x48" (the Trotec bed is 29 x 17, The Rabbit bed is about 36 x 48).
The products would work in either laser.
FOR THIS ORDER, TAKE 25% off of our price. Then add GST. No Shipping.
You must be prepared to pay by paypal, before on or before the 16th or by cash/credit/debit at the space,
which probably means tomorrow (Tuesday) or catching me over the weekend.

=== Now, what's this you say? ID Cards? ===
Custom Fitted Table Protectors made to order by a Protospace member.
Some of the vendors want tighter control than others on who accesses discounts.
New members have been automatically getting Protospace ID Cards since the late summer.
Some existing members or members with RFID Fobs (as opposed to cards) may not have them yet.
To get yours, email Byron a selfie, and specify whether you want it printed on your existing RFID card,
to request a new RFID card, or just a plain plastic card (that will work for this, but not open the door.)


We will only issue cards to paid up members, so to speed things up, include the details of when you made your last payment
* PROTOSPACE for 10% off any purchase over $50.00
(otherwise I have to wait till I can look it up or see if someone else can).


By attempting to access a Protospace Member discount, you agree to keep your dues paid, and that, on request,
<br />
Protospace may verify to the merchant that you are a member (no personal information is shared with the merchant).
