Instructions for Renewing online:

Before proceeding, please note the following: we can only process credit card purchases online, if you need to pay a different way, please use the printable form above. If you want to donate to the archives online and sign up for a membership, these will have to be two separate purchases online. We don't have an archives store item at this time. If you want to do both in one order, use the printable form above and mail it in to us.

For you to renew online you need to have a website account to make the purchase through the online store.  This includes joining the ELRRHS for the first time or renewing your membership in the Society.  

1) To join or renew on line please choose one of the ELRRHS membership levels listed below and click on the "Add to Cart" button under the desired level on this page. Or if you would like, click on the link to the membership level directly. On the individual page for the membership, you can add the item to the cart there as well.

2) After you click the "add to cart" button it will show you a link to go to "view cart." This will show up on the page below or on the individual page after you click add to cart.

3) If you clicked on view cart it will show you the items you have in your cart. If at this point you have not registered, it will show you a link at the top so that you can register. You must register and sign in prior to proceeding.

4) If you are signed in and registered, click the button at the bottom "proceed to checkout."

5) When you are on this page, fill out all the necessary information (name, address, etc.). If you would like in the optional "order notes" on the right side of the page, add your membership number if you are renewing. This will help us match up your membership. If you do not have the number, it is ok.

6) Once everything is complete, click on the "proceed to PayPal" to pay by credit card.

7) If you do not want to pay by credit card, please fill out the form above and mail it in to us. If you wish to donate to the archives you can go to this site here as a separate transaction by PayPal:
https://erielackhs.org/archives/. We unfortunately, at this time do not have a way for users to enter in an amount and donate by PayPal when renewing or joining online in one order. If you need to order everything all at one time, fill out the form above and mail it to us.
