First, we need to make sure Vera is not charged for another year.
I've now removed her credit card information, so this is done.

Second, we need to make sure the next bill is paid.
I provided my (Dave A Barker Jr) credit card to Dreamhost, so this is done.
I also changed the billing from annual to monthly sinceā€¦

Third, we should soon prove tax-exempt status so we don't have to pay at 
all.
As explained by Dreamhost 
<http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Non-profit_Discount>, we need to:

 1. have a copy of your parent organization [Georgia PTA (PTA Georgia
    Congress)]'s 501(c)(3) determination letter and proof from them that
    you are a subordinate in good standing
 2. fax your proof of tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) to
    714-671-9098. Be sure to include your DreamHost account number
    [1166210] on the cover letter of your fax
 3. submit a support request from the Support -> Contact Support
    <https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=support.msg&%7C> so that
    our non-profit team can get you approved

I can do 2 & 3, but *I need help with 1 (proving tax-exempt status)* (I 
did look into it <http://www.9.0ne.org/w/Sagamore_Hills_PTA_nonprofit>).
