A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

I have a question: when I pledge I want it to be taken from the card I want to use, not a cheque sent in the mail following your pledge reminder--is there any way to pay using a card? I feel like this is a dumb question. I am asking tho cuz once awhile ago I forgot to send in the cheque | |
