The SLC has decided to open up sponsorship opportunities for Section activities. Companies and individuals wishing to become sponsors should contact Jim Mattocks at jim.mattocks@isovolta-or.us for more information. Note that, while we are seeking sponsors, we will not be accepting advertising for our website or newsletter.

New additon to event payment page

In February, the event payment page will require the credit card billing address. This will be added to reduce the fees the Section pays for card processing and help us keep the event prices low.
