"Click here to Register for Events and/or Donate."

When you click there, you'll see numerous tiles with pictures, titles and a brief description.  Click on the "register" or "donate" button associated with that tile and you'll be given detailed information about the event or donation.  For registrations there may be a few questions for you to answer prior to actually paying.  Then you'll be led through the payment process where you'll need to supply credit or debit card information.  This system is called Vanco and will replace our involvement with PayPal. Please use Discover, Visa,or Mastercard debit or credit cards. American Express cards charge a higher service fee,so please avoid their use. Vanco offers more flexibility, lower service fees and real people to talk to when your Great Plains Conference administrator has questions.  Looking forward to this system being an advantage for everyone.  Please contact Lorraine Hahn, Great Plains UWF Treasurer, with questions.
