Can I pay my membership dues using a debit card?

Our online payment system does not allow for payment by debit card.  It takes credit card only.  However, if you do not have a credit card, or wish to pay by cheque or cash, that can be facilitated via our Membership Coordinator.  Please email the membership coordinator at: peninsulanewcomers@gmail.com.

What is the difference between a funtivity and an activity?

Funtivity is just a play on the word Activity and there is no difference.  

I have lived in the area for more than 3 years, but would still like to join your club.  Is this possible?
