We can also accept credit cards (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover) and many debit cards from this page using PayPal through a service donated by BGAI, a local supporter. You do not have to be a PayPal member to use the service. In March 2012, the Board of Directors decided that the processing costs of credit card used for member dues should be supported by Membership. The basic service is being donated by the company BGAI, however, each transaction carries a fee. The board has decided to add $ 1 for the convenience of paying by credit card.

Use the button below for this service. Be sure to choose the membership type. You will be asked for the credit card billing address. This is a secure service.

The organization will issue you a receipt and membership information upon receipt of payment.

Should you wish to pay another amount or if you wish to register more than one membership, please contact the Secretary of the group.

Note: Until the IRS finishes approval of our non-profit status, we cannot open a bank account. Checks will be transfered to an escrow account managed by the private company, BGAI, until the new account(s) are available. All financial transactions are recorded in the organization’s financial records.
