We know its easy to rush through apps and get them over with. There's only two of us and likely over 100 of you all, the online payment link is posted on this form twice and emailing all of you individually to send it is very time consuming. Please thoroughly read this form in its entirety and ensure you are getting your payment in (check out the payments and fees portion above for more info).

Thank you for your support!
