Make Open Project Night more visitor-friendly

- Make sure there are two people in the space (Going to be Christopher and Liz, Sven when possible)
Update Bylaws for Membership to clarify requirements for other membership tiers
- Qualifying Life Events that can cause monetary hardship.

The parking lot will be inaccessible sometime this year due to construction in the neighboring lot (The church is unsure of dates, should let us know when ``they`` are updated)
TLDR: Comcast pricing sucks - Gabriel reached out to check pricing, no discounts for nonprofits, business line only. We will look into Astound, highly recommended by Chris and Kyle
