neccessarily high fences, and an appeal for support.

[Nick Thompson]

Thanks Marcus, and Steve.

Setting up an arrangement to receive donations has been a knicker-twister, and even though I helped create it, I find the current system a bit confusing. We are having to use third-party software that does not readily submit to our will.   The best way in is to go to http://www.sfcomplex.org/zen-cart/ and focus on the grey list just under the logo:Affiliates, Educational Sponsor ,  Gift Certificates, Governmental Sponsors , Institutional Sponsors .   "Affiliates" is the best developed category thus far;  you might start by clicking there.  

If the web interface gets to be an impediment for anybody, they should send us an email (dbegley at sfcomplex.org, nthompson at clarku.edu) or call us at the Complex, 505-216-7562.  It would be great to hear from people.  

As it has been great to hear from you.
