7th Order of Business:
We are about to have the launch the ability to use a credit card instead of paypal for memberships as well as having a much more streamlined subscription and membership service. The online portal will be much better and easier to use. We will still take paypal if that’s how you want to pay. This will also make it easier to give people student, family, and retiree membership prices.
