But content includes useful stuff like being able to join on-line. It would be a huge improvement if you could join NAFEX on-line with a credit card or Paypal.
The problem with doing this is that we'd need a real webmaster, which means someone needs to volunteer. Also, it take (a little bit) of money. My husband thinks you can buy space on a webpage with a plug-in credit card handling function for between $50 and $100. And of course, the credit card companies charge a fee - sometimes several percent for tiny 'vendors' like NAFEX. But it's probably worth it. I'm sure we lose lots of potential members, especially among the younger crowd, by requiring a snail-mail check.
I don't think you lose anyone important if they can't
be bothered to write a check and stamp an envelope. If
they aren't interested enough in fruit trees to write
out a check, I'm also quite sure they would have
nothing to contribute to NAFEX.
