Hello,
 
For the 10 yrs. I've been on-line, and have done genealogy on-line,  I have wished I could afford the annual fee for becoming a member of NEHGS.     But, just have never been able to afford that $75 coming out of our budget, especially during January.       This month I have thought of something.     Wouldn't it be nice for many of us if NEHGS would offer us a payment-plan.     Hopefully  $7  per month.
 
I don't know if they continued this,  but  "Public Television" in Boston is now offering a "maintenance plan" where we can pay $5  per month to belong to  PBS-TV.
 
I mentioned this to a librarian last week,  and she made the comment that too many people would promise to send in $7 a month to NEHGS -  but then not continue doing that.     She misunderstood.     I meant that we could sign up to pay the $7 a month through  PAYPAL, or some other method.      That is fairly easy to do.
 
Please note that NEHGS  now has a new  URL for getting to their web site.     And, I just checked this year's membership fee, and see they have raised their price.    It is now ~$80  annually.
