INTERNATIONAL SHAW SOCIETY 2023 Membership Form |
The annual ISS membership fee is due on January
1 of each year. As
the ISS is a non-profit organization, fees and donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.A. and may be
in other countries as well. The
process of acquiring membership as described below is
entirely electronic,
but if you can’t make the electronic version work, you can snail-mail
a check (cheque) or USD cash to the ISS Treasurer, Michael O’Hara, at 1001 E.
Washington St., Muncie, IN 47305-2047, United States of America. In the electronic version that follows, there are three
steps: STEP # 1) Add up what your costs are (see “ITEMS TO PURCHASE” below). STEP # 2) Pay the total cost with a debit or credit card or Paypal account. To make a payment, hit https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ABZLF5ZV8HLD6. A form should appear on your default browser
identifying the International Shaw Society as the recipient of your purchase and, below
that, that you are providing “Purchase Detail,” but not just for
Membership. Fill in “Price per item” by putting in not an
itemization but the total of your membership (required), your journal subscriptions (optional), and
donation (optional). Do not put in a Dollar sign ($). Then Click on “Continue” On next page, p. 2 – if you have a PayPal
account and want to use it, put in your email address or mobile number
associated with that account and then click on login. If not,
click on “Pay with Debit or Credit Card.” Almost everybody uses the second
option. On next page, p. 3 –“PayPal Guest Checkout,”
fill in the data that is required. Make sure you put in the CSC (Card Security
Code) number. For many, you just need to put in the card #
and most of the rest will be filled in for you. Then click on “Pay Now.” STEP # 3) Email the ISS Treasurer, Michael O’Hara, at mohara@bsu.edu to let him know two things: 1.
Is your membership new or
renewing or a gift? Provide details on home address,
phone #, and email address of the member, updating
your changes as needed. 2.
