Some how this all came together. I hadn't a clue what I was doing. Feedback is so welcomed (if you have a moment).

Just a few things;

1) No banner / image ?
2) Hide the administrator button... that's not something for everyone to use!
3) Paypal need's to go!

There's nothing wrong with the content, have you considered a more stylish template?

1) No banner? I think you speak of the banners that you can click on? I deactivated it because I can't get it in the position we want. This template is one where I just switched the header graphic and backround color, but it was a free template. I'm new to this and don't know how tio fix.
2) Will remove (good looking out)
3) Our bank account is linked to pay pal, not sure how else to do it. And we have to have a spot fo rthem to donate, we can't exist with out it. Any suggestions. Also we use paypal to register for events and I can't use the html code for buttons so that people can register and pay online, any suggestions for that?

There are no funds (I mean NO FUNDS, more like NEGATIVE FUNDS) for a template so I rigged up a free one the best I could.  :)

Understandably I know you can't do much without funding.
But why create a site that is lenient on it?

I'd prefer no Paypal at all, but if it's needed then keep it as-is.

Your current template looks quite dull and unattractive.
Perhaps consider using a different one...

That's all I have as far as criticism goes!  8)

Well, It was a choice between a slow loading html site that's too heavy on graphics for what our organization is about (which by the way no one could update with out having software on thier PC to use a visual sitebuilder). Or a dull yet functional website that could be updated by anyone at anytime, and does exactly what we want it to do: Inform and connect our members.  :D 

I belive I've chosen the better of the two, and that will just have to do, at least untill someone is willing to offer real help or real money with the knowlegde that they only thing the can recieve in return is the simple pleasure of helping a fellow man ( or woman  :P ) achieve a dream.

Thanks for your feedback.  :)
