      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          A new, and innovative way to fund ORCA's efforts!
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between the 
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Oklahoma Roofing Contractors Association
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           and 
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Alt Pay
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          , an OKC-based cutting-edge merchant services solution. This is a program that has been designed exclusively for ORCA members. Alt-Pay specializes in "high risk" industry transactions their competitors won't, such as roofing and construction.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          This innovative program transforms the routine credit card and ACH fees you already pay into a meaningful contribution that directly supports ORCA's mission. Every transaction processed through Alt Pay will automatically allocate a portion of those standard fees back to the association, funding advocacy efforts, educational programs, and industry resources without any additional cost to your business. By switching to Alt Pay, ORCA members gain access to competitive rates, seamless integration with existing systems, and robust security features, all while strengthening our collective voice in the roofing community.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          "THIS IS A FANTASTIC AND INNOVATIVE WAY FOR ORCA MEMBERS TO CONTRIBUTE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THE ASSOCIATION 
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          WITHOUT ANY ADDED COSTS TO THEIR BUSINESS
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          ! OUR MEMBERS ARE PAYING THESE FEES ANYWAY, WHY NOT RE-DIRECT THOSE FEES TO A CAUSE THAT BENEFITS THEM?" - Avery Smith, ORCA Executive Director
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          This partnership empowers your company to operate more efficiently and gives back to the association that fights for your interests—turning everyday payments into investments in ORCA's future. Contact Alt Pay today to enroll and start contributing effortlessly with every swipe, tap, or transfer.

          ORCA has been working closely with the City of OKC over the past several months on this particular initiative. You will note that roofing completed during new construction will not require a separate permit. Also, roofing contractors must hold a valid state license or registration, but no additional roofing contractor registration will be required by the city at this time.
