Instructions for paying dues online


 

Click the  left-side Membership Application/Renewal/Change Form button at hrcaz.org, and you will be taken to an online version of the membership form with a similar appearance to the previous one. After you enter your information and click Submit, you will be presented with payment choices of credit card, debit card, PayPal, Venmo, and check, unless you are only making a change to your contact information. If you select Check, you still have to mail your check, but the treasurer and membership secretary will have received your submitted form by email long before your check arrives. If you pay electronically, you will not be charged any fees; it’s just like buying at Amazon, and less costly than paying for form printing, a check, an envelope and a stamp. You will receive email confirmation of your membership form entry and your payment.
