IMPORTANT
Please read the following notes as we have changed our registration system.
Our online payments are being handled by Zeffy, an online service that is 100% free (no credit card or transaction fees). That means that every membership dollar goes directly to the NWA. In return, Zeffy asks that payers consider making a donation to them. There is no obligation to do so, but that is how they stay in business which is to our benefit. When you get to the payment summary section of the application you will see a note about adding a donation to Zeffy. You can use the adjacent drop down menu (which starts at 17%) to choose how much you would like to donate to Zeffy. You can choose a different percentage or choose “other” to specify an amount of your choice or $0.00 if you do not wish to donate to Zeffy.
Automatic Renewals
In the Buyer details section of the application, under City and State, note that the “Activate automatic renewal” box is currently checked. If you leave it checked your information and credit card will be saved and you will be charged on your renewal date. You will receive a reminder 30 days prior to your membership renewal date. At that time you can cancel if you do not want to renew your membership. If you prefer NOT to sign up for automatic renewals simply “un-check” the “Activate automatic renewal” box.
