PROP 02-02 - Please vote yes or no

PROPOSITION 02-02:  David to research and set up a PayPal account for AGA 
memberships, contests and merchandise.

I second this, and it's now up for a vote.

I would keep in mind during the research that we need some way to 
communicate to Jack, Diana and me, exactly what has been purchased by each 
payment.  The more automated, the better.  I can set up an alias for the 
account, such as "bank@aquatic-gardeners.org" that relays multiple people.
