You can also purchase a membership through our lay-away plan. Pay the supporting price, then pay an amount on a monthly basis so that you’ve paid the Attending price before June 30th, 2009. The benefit is that when you pay the supporting price you lock in the total you’ll have to pay before the deadline. So even though the Attending price will go up over time, your lay-away total will not.
