Have you heard about our fund-raising campaign?

We’re trying to raise at least $18,000 to hire expert developers to revise, upgrade and optimize this website, so, if the need arises, someone else can easily maintain it.

If anyone is hesitant to use their credit card online, they can mail us a check to “Society,” 10612 Round Rock Rd., Charlotte NC 28277.
