[etchells-fleet11] FW: [etchells-fleet11-members] 2010 Class Dues

[alumhousten alumhousten]

This might be a new feature.  The 'form' that I created for the our web site is
my copying of the paper form.  If you'd like to review that, it is available on
the www.etchellsna.org web site.  My 'form' differs only in that the layout has
been adjusted so that it looks good on the screen and I have removed the payment
information since that is a separate process the way we are doing this.

In regard to the pledge itself, they are just asking that you promise to abide
by the class rules.  I can't see how that is a bad thing?
