Awesome, thanks for documenting this, you did it exactly right. :)  If
they want a receipt, the following process works:
 - they bring in the stuff
 - a NB volunteer writes down what they donated, and the name+address of
   the donor, and emails it to treasurer@
 - our awesome treasurer emails them a PDF receipt

The SEM is a fair bit of work to use, but it has been working recently,
there are some pictures on the wiki:

The cameras and battery holders would be useful for Project Bacchus (our
second high-altitude-balloon project).  I'll take a look when I'm there
on Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks!
