I did try to keep people at the same spots last year if it was possible and if they didn't specifically ask to be moved. sometimes I shifted people a little bit - there was a greater demand for electricity this year, and we had a couple of previous areas that were off limits this year - so unfortunately it wasn't always possible to keep things exactly the same. </p> http://nocoastcraft.com/forum/topic.php?id=40#post-64 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:25:46 +0000 trishie 64@http://nocoastcraft.com/forum/ <p>yes, the imprinter is mainly for your own purposes - to have proof that the card was present - and to make a fairly easy/quick way for you to take down the cc info, get a signature, and get them their receipt - then you can use whatever service you want later to actually process the cards (propay, paypal, some other merchant account, etc)</p> <p>Propay, from what I understand, doesn't require an imprinter, they're just nice for you to have for the reasons described above.</p> <p>does that answer your questions? </p> http://nocoastcraft.com/forum/topic.php?id=42#post-63 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:38:19 +0000 Aeon 63@http://nocoastcraft.com/forum/ <p>Help our residents develop practical and creative skills by teaching sewing classes!
