Jason I think it is great that you are going to try the credit card payment option for the tshirts. It is a giant leap forward. Btw that fee is charged btmy all credit card companies to all sellers. Its a cost of doing business that you might not otherwise have in increased sales.

It was an especially bad month in many ways.  I had one unexpected funeral to attend in NJ, I had to fill in for a colleague at a flight test, and I just found out I have to travel to NJ again for another funeral all in the last 2-3 weeks.  I will make sure to have paper copies at the meeting so that we can vote on the minutes.I'm told at least several people are having problems with the email reflector.  If I'm around at the meeting, that is not traveling for the funeral, I will attempt to fix the problems.  I know Jim Beller has been having issues.  If I'm not around, then I would appreciate someone compiling a list for me.  Either I or Josh Long will take of it after the meeting.I'm told Hamvention T-shirts will be available at club prices at Monday's meeting.  I'm also told to remember to volunteer for T-shirts sales if you can.  If I don't have to leave for NJ right away, meaning I will be at the meeting, I will have a credit card option for payment through Square - old magnetic stripe, chip, or NFC with Android or Apple Pay should all work.  The only drawback is that Square takes 2.75% similar to Paypal for membership dues.  The benefits are that we don't have to have large piles of cash laying around at Hamvention and I set it up with a store where you can ring up products and quantities and it does the totals for you and provides a receipt via email to the customer.I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I will not be around for Hamvention due to the funeral although I'm still waiting for the details.  If someone wants to give credit card payments a go at Hamvention, please let me know and I will show you how to use it.  You either need a smart phone or tablet with some sort of internet connection, either cell or WiFi.  For the magnetic stripe reader, you'll need a 3.5mm headphone jack with microphone input - 4 metal rings instead of 3 aka tip-ring-ring-sleeve.  Of course, if I'm around and the powers that be want to give the credit option a try, I will take that on.Jason Bowmanm: 937-260-2870WG8B
