Important tip for online banking customers …
If you can access your checking account online (through the bank’s website or using the bank’s official app), you may be able to pay your membership dues without having to write‑out and mail‑in a check. Here’s how it works … After signing-in to your account, go to the “Pay Bills” section. When prompted, enter the amount of the check and the payee’s name and mailing address. The bank will then print a check and mail it to the payee, at no extra cost. Note: This feature may not be available at all banks, or may not be an unconditionally free service, so please review your bank’s Terms and Conditions carefully.

In the meantime,
please visit our new BBS and Live Chat Room …
New York Amateur Computer Club
BBS and Live Chat Room
Club member Brendan Kidwell has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS)
and a live chat room for the New York Amateur Computer Club.
The BBS is for discussions about everything the club might discuss
in our general or special interest group meetings.
Messages are arranged by topic and thread. Ask your computer questions
and share your expertise and experiences here!
This is also a good place for setting up trades
and selling used equipment that others might need.
This will also be used for text announcements
and to help us stay in touch during the pandemic crisis.
The chat room allows us to text chat LIVE with each other as a group —
whoever happens to be online in the chat room at any given moment.
BBS:
https://nyacctalk.glump.net/
Chat room:
https://web.libera.chat/#nyacc
Brendan will monitor and participate in both resources.
If you have trouble accessing either system,
please email Brendan directly at brendan@glump.net
