MAILING CHARGES
2025 is the final year for the $5.00 mailing charge for members' courtesy copies of The Heritage. This is due to the increased United States Postal Service rates, and the cost of packaging, mailing labels, etc. Beginning in 2026, The Heritage mailing charge will be $8.00. The $5.00 mailing charge does not apply to any other purchases that are to be mailed. Since an order might consist of one book, or multiple books, those mailing and handling charges will be based on weight and handling costs.
In addition to cash and checks, we are now accepting payments through PayPal for Membership Dues, Publication Purchases and Donations. PayPal payments can be paid to hschistoricalsociety@gmail.com using your PayPal account. When paying with PayPal, please select "Friends and Family." PayPal informed us that we will not pay a fee if that is selected. Forms still need to be filled out and turned in at our office, or mailed by email or US Postal Service. The Membership form is below. See the menu above for Publication Purchase and Donation forms.
