Hey Folks, I just paid my 2006 membership on-line by using Paypal and it was a snap. Last year I paid by check and it just took for ever to clear my account (not fun if you're anal like me and balances their checkbook twice a week). Believe me, it's safe, convenient and easy but best of all...it's free to set up a Paypal account. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend it.
