Alternate Payment Methods
Paying through the website is, by far, the fastest way for your payment to be recorded in the database on the website, better ensures that we have your correct name, address and email information and saves time for our volunteer staff.
However, we understand that we've had some issues getting the new website membership process running smoothly since its implementation in November 2017 and although we've improved it and gotten rid of the kinks (we think!), some may wish to use a different method to send payment. The alternative methods below may be used but please allow up to four weeks for your payment to be registered and membership record updated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
"I don't have a PayPal account and I don't want one. Can't I pay another way?"
You do NOT need a PayPal account to use this PayPal payment gateway. It gives you the OPTION to create/log into a PayPal account but it does not require it nor will you receive any mail from PayPal as a result of using this gateway.
Alternatively, you can pay through the Stripe gateway using your credit card.
You can also send a payment to the office in U.S. funds for the amount of your membership. If you do this, please make sure you give your full name, current address, email (required!) and which membership and year(s) you are paying for.
