FOR OVERSEAS MEMBERS PAYING BY PayPal --

You can avoid paying high bank fees by paying us from your personal PayPal account, rather than from your checking account or credit card. It is easy to open a PayPal account, and it is free! Just follow these steps

1) Transfer a sufficient amount of money from your bank account into your PayPal account in your native currency (i.e,. Euros, Pounds, etc.) to cover the cost of membership plus the service fee ($32.00 using the current rate of exchange).
2) Pay the Society in US dollars (the option to select the currency of your payment appears as a drop-down menu) to the Society's E Mail Address/Merchant ID: violadamoresociety@sbcglobal.net

If you follow these steps, your bank will not be involved in the currency exchange or the transaction. You may wish to check with your bank to see if there are fees associated with transferring money into your PayPal account.
