Russ commented on a SwapMeet post that the Association website is ".com" or ".org", but I could not discern which one he meant in the comment, and which one was correct. I typed in both domains, and seemed to get the same website!

Is it true that the Association has both urls? Do they lead to the same website?

For short dollars (typically) you can secure .com/.org/.net, etc., and link them together when establishing or maintaining a web site. A wise move when trying to control your "brand". Our web guru Paul Alcock, I suspect, made sure anyone looking for a 25 foot Catalina finds us!!!

Ok, ok, I was wrong.
The actual domain is .org but we also have .com .org and .net
We did this year's ago mostly to prevent someone else from using them.
As a side benefit, the .com is redirected to the .org by our web hosting company.
I just tested on my iPad and the .com URL does not change.
I thought the .com would refresh to .org but it doesn't.
Next time, I need to test before I post.
