IMPORTANT CLUB PAYMENT UPDATE: Effective January 1st, 2026, PayPal will no longer be accepted for any type of club related business payments. After further review by our Board, the fees are considerable, and not worth the expense.

Cash will be accepted for payments, but is highly discouraged - thank you in advance for complying with this change.
