I am wondering when checks I have sent for donations and some purchases will be deposited. The oldest is from August for the WRMQ raffle. Now that the raffle is over I am waiting to see the check clear. But not yet, apparently. I prefer to pay directly by check, not using PayPal, and don't always have the convenience of getting a money order which is the other option. I do that sometimes, as I am getting tired of waiting so long for checks to clear. Does anyone else have this problem? I would donate to more raffles, etc., if treasurers would get to the bank a little more often. Carol O. [Posted in FML issue 4369]
