Shipmates:

We have completed everything we needed to do, as an organization, to begin receiving donations to our Charitable Foundation Funds, through PayPal. The document [ http://www.ussvcf.org/ppd-how.htm ] discusses what PayPal is, how it works and how it can be conveniently used for donating to our CF Funds.

It states that in order to use PayPal one has to be registered and then defines what is required to register with PayPal, delineating the easy steps, once the donor has registered, to make his donation to PayPal. Registration takes less that two minutes and making a donation takes, once registered, less than a minute. Nothing has ever been easier for any donor having the ability to access the Internet

Please forward this message to your Base Commanders and anyone else you feel may be interested, including those who are not USSVI affiliated but may be interested in donating to our five Funds: GENERAL, SCHOLARSHIP, BROTHERHOOD, LIBRARY and MEMORIAL All detailed on http://www.ussvcf.org

There is no cost to register with PayPal or maintain it. Having registered, the registrant is under no obligation in any way to ever use PayPal for anything. However, once registered the registrant may use it to make payments to any of the thousands of vendors and organizations that accept PayPal payment, and the list is growing every day!

We have made it easy for our members to support our funds. Please get the word out about this new medium of payment. Let's get the word out as "The Shot Heard Round the World."
