Thank you John and Chris...I just went to the website and bought an
on-line Gift Membership for a friend of mine in Oklahoma City. No
problem. It took me about 5 minutes, (3 minutes of which was finding
Susan's address).
As to the discussion about the PayPal costs for Sections/Cooperating
Societies, I think we should NOT pass this cost on at this time. The
subsequent information provided by Tom and comments by Hal and Bob
persuaded me to change my initial recommendation. The amounts of
money are not significant to our budget and the goodwill among the
Section/Cooperating Socieities that "picking up the tab" for PayPal
will bring will more than make up for it.

Subject: [AISdiscuss] AIS PayPal Online Subscription
The AIS PayPal online subscription page is now active and will gladly
take your money.. You can go directly to it at:
http://www.irises.org/ppmbrshp/aisonlinembrshp.htm
It is not accessible form the main website yet. Chris will add a
button on the Home page and on the standard membership page shortly
so that there is a path from the Home page.
I am sure there are things that will need to be changed or fixed,
please let me know and I will see if I can accommodate them.
I am not whining, complaining or bragging, but while it may have
taken some programmer 2 hours to set up a PayPal website for a
nursery, the AIS site represents a little over 30 hours of my time
setting up the various pages, getting the correct code written for
the buttons, testing, and then reconfiguring so that the information
flowed directly to Tom Gormley. Thanks to Tom for his patience and
help, and to Chris Hollinshead for his help and support.
MIS and SPCNI have both told me they would like to be on our PP page
and I am considering how best to architect the page structures
Now that I have done the first page set, the next should be easier.
