So Easy A President Can Do It!

As you may know it's time for some of us, myself included, to update our Bon Temps membership.  I hate the thought of filling out paper forms, and heaven forbid licking one of those nasty little stamps and making a trip to the mailbox.   And I"m not alone in thinking so.  You spoke. We listened. A few months ago Jim Hance added the convenience of  Pay Pal subscriptions to the Bon Temps website.  I must admit there was a time long ago  I had no interest in using Pay Pal for anything.  I felt the mere premise was unsecured.  Well that couldn't be further from the truth.  Pay Pal is the safest method of making a transaction on the web.  Your financial information never goes outside the Pay Pal wire.   With a Pay Pal account even when you make a credit card transaction Pay Pal sends out a phony credit card number.  No one ever sees your actual credit card number.

I'll leave you with 2 thoughts

 1.  I just updated my membership and I was reminded again what a painless transaction Pay Pal can be.

 2. We can't stress enough how important each  membership is to the Bon Temps Social Club.  At the very least it takes money to continue to bring all the wonderful music and entertainment that we enjoy so much.  I remember when I first moved to San Diego how happy I was to find this club.  And since I travel so much I put off buying a membership. I was somebody that was just on the fringes and due to my work schedule I could only attend so many dances anyway.  But when I was able to attend, I realized how much fun it was and that Bon Temps needs my membership to thrive.  So whether I can make 4 dances or 10 dances a year, I feel my contribution goes towards the greater good.

So for those of you who have not paid this years dues, it's time to ante up.
For those who have never joined, I hope you will.   And yes you can still use snail mail if you so choose.
And if not, we love you anyway.
