Thanks for asking.  Our affiliate cannot process credit cards or debt cards. 
All transactions at the event must be either check or cash.  The ticket 
purchase on-line at www.sixdots.org is a paypal purchase to the National 
Federation of the Blind of California and therefore it is a donation.  We 
will have receipts available at the event for anyone using cash.  Checks can 
be made out to the NFB of California.
