[Nfbsatx] Schwans and Payment Gateway

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    A main agenda item for Saturday's meeting is fundraising. I've mentioned 
the possibility of doing a fundraiser with Schwans Foods. Other affiliates 
have used this fundraiser successfully. I believe we can make it work for us 
as well particularly if it can be an ongoing fundraiser. You can learn more 
about the Schwans fundraising program by visiting:

    We've also talked about adding a payment gateway to our Web site to 
facilitate transaction processing via the Internet. A recent matter brought 
to our attention reminded me of how other affiliates use PayPal for various 
types of transaction processing including payment of membership dues. There 
are lots of ways we can utilize the power payment gateways can add to our 
Web site. I for one would like to see us have one up and running by the end 
of the year. If other affiliates, chapters, and divisions can make payment 
gateways work for them we can do the same. See you all on Saturday.

"Will you come and awake our lost land from its slumber
      And her fetters we'll break, links that long are encumbered.
      And the air will resound with hosannas to greet you
      On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to greet you."
