Barry K9FMB explained we’re currently blocked from using PayPal until such time as our identity is verified. Our original PayPal account was established in 2005 as a private, individual user and apparently a recent software audit requires SARC provide updated identity before our account can be returned to normalcy. There are Dues renewals stuck in the system at the moment. Barry will explore what actions are needed to establish the account as a corporate (non-profit?) entity to regain access to the system.
Motion
Cliff K9QD moved to authorize our Treasurer’s attempts to modify the account to a business entity, supply required ownership documents, and determine if SARC could avoid a monthly fee (maybe 501c3 exemption?). John Shofield AC9JS seconded. So Moved.
