PayPal

By Eric Todd

Starting today, we have a new method by which to send your fees for Individual Membership, meet sanction, Club Membership, and USAWA merchandise.  You can continue to do so by sending a check or cash (which is still legal tender for all debts, public and private) via the United states Postal Service OR you can do so by using the online payment method of PayPal.  The address for our PayPal account is linked on our “Forms and Applications” page, but I will also link it in this article.  You can click this link to access it. USAWA’s PayPal account

Hopefully this will make it easier for members (both current and prospective) who no longer use checks to access membership.  Please let me know if there are any questions regarding our PayPal account and its use.
