[NRVR-Members] Members Meeting & Club Elections on Feb 2nd, 6-8pm at the Space Building (in the BBurg CRC)

[Andrew Touzinsky]

I know that PayPal and Square charge a small percentage for the transaction. Venmo doesn't have the fee to pay, Even though it is owned by PayPal. I would personally suggest doing Venmo because it's pretty simple, free, and pulls the money directly off of my card.

Those are just my 2 cents -- or 1.8 cents after transaction fees.

Getting a merchant account or "Free Credit Card Reader" from our bank is not exactly trivial (we don't make enough money to make it worth their while) .  and Paypal is  bit of a hack.   I suppose we could get a square account and reader set up, but they take a cut and we already don't really handle that much money to make it worth while.

So if you don't want to fall out of communications with us.. either come to the meeting, or fill out a membership form for 2017 and get it and your dues to me asap:
