Donations from web page

[Sharon Foster]

At my previous POW, we had feedback from a few members that they didn't
like PayPal because they "didn't like being forced to create a PayPal
account." Well, of course that's a false impression, but I was surprised at
how many people misread PayPal's suggestion as mandatory, not optional. I
tried to "fix" it with verbiage before sending the patron over to the PP
website, but sometimes more verbiage only makes things worse. Depending on
the experience level of your population, be prepared for a few phone calls.

*"All accumulation, therefore, of personal property, beyond what a man’s
own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on
every principle of justice, of gratitude, and of civilization, a part of
that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came.*" ~Tom
Paine
